Well with the help of the site and a couple of hours my CBG was/is born. Nothing special...no weird techniques...acoustic and loud as heck...



Working on Number 2 even as we speak...electric of course :)

Kewl baby.

Only thing there I see is your sound holes are too low to the back end. They might make the notes come out back-end first and might affect your sound.

[BTW - just kidding. great build]
LOVE the grain on the neck! Nice job! Post some tunes and/or videos when you're ready!
Looks sweet ! Nice job
Looks nice. You might experiment with some kind of string spacer at the nut end.
Thanks Guys....Yah string space def needed...I do wanna spruce it up...(i need Grommets or something in the 1.25" catagory)...This was one of those projects I have been saying for years I am gonna try and my family was gone for a couple of days, I decided time to get off my butt and give it a shot.
Very nice. What wood did you use for the neck?
Great job,welcome to the addiction!
I just used a good ol 1X2 from the hardware store...sanded the crud out of it, its just popluar with Mohageny stain on it that I let sit for 1/2 hr or so....

BTW My Number 2 is about finished....And it has all the "upgrades that this one doesn't...Electric, string guide...frets...

Thanks
Ray

Hey great looking CBG, I never thought of putting the sound hole towards the back, I like it.
Cheers Ron.
