I recently made a cbg where I took the top off and cut and painted it to look like a telecaster. I think it looks pretty cool. It has an under bridge piezo rod for a pick up. The fake pick ups are a piece of shaped aluminum and a piece of painted wood. Pick guard is a popcorn container from the dollar store. Has anyone else cut their top to some crazy shape? I'd love to see what others have done with their tops.

Gosh Daddy D - Took me a minute before I noticed the guitar!! ;-)
Nice job!!!
It took me a second to realize that the bottom of the box was still there. The contrast between the black and the blue hides it really well.
Great idea!
You can't go wrong with a pretty lady, a hot rod, and a CBG, eh?
I got the idea from this site I think. Someone posted a pic of a guitar shaped like a diamond, and the corners were the sound holes. Maybe I should use a longer neck next time :)
That is so cool. When I saw this before I thought it was just painted on. That is very "custom"! Great job.
