submit pics for a CBG Christmas photo album

Posted by Wichita Sam on December 19, 2009 at 1:14pm in Performances, How to Play, Lessons, Concerts

I know many of us are building CBGs as Christmas gifts. If you will send me pics or just post them on this thread, I'll build a photo album and send it to all those who submitted pics and anyone else who asks (heck, probably just post a link at the end of this thread). OK, let's see some CBG Christmas spirit. the best, wichita Sam

That's a very cool diddley bow. Good for Slim for buying a Christmas gift for himself.

well dont know if this qualifies as a Christmas build , but i've sold it to Slim Pickin in Japan , he's bought it as a Christmas gift to himself so i guess it kinda qualifies ?

My Christmas gift, a black Cohiba CBG built by Big Daddy at Back Porch Mojo. It's a work of art with awesome sound!

Man, that is sharp. I'd love to have some more info on building one of these. Does the string pass through the can to the lower end of stem? What is it tuned to? Where did you get the info for this? Thanks Al (Hangten)

I'm willing to bet that this was her favorite Christmas gift.

Here is the last of 3 I made for Christmas gifts. My granddaughter's (Stella) friend (Campbell) loved playing the one I made for Stella, so I made her one also.
