Been doing my part to help spread CBGs throughout Southern Calif. Gave one to my son so he can annoy his mother with it, then sold another to my buddy. He's having lots of fun with that and now he wants me to build one that he can give to his son's guitar teacher. Slowly but surly I'm helping to spread the word here on the west coast.

Dang so many Nor/Centralcalians we should try to find a spot up in the bay area to have some sort of CBG night this summer! Playin, meeting, and sharing, I'm up in that area at least twice a year and I'd be down to try something out. Anyone interested or have any ideas?

I summer in NorCal (SF Bay Area), and will be returning this year about mid-June and will stay till mid August, before returning to China. I was wondering if any other NorCal builders or players might like to get together to compare notes, show me their techniques, etc. I'd be willing to share all i know. If interested, let be know and we can try to contact using e-mail, or some other less public means.

Hey Mark and welcome.  I haven't started building yet either but I live down in Tracy.  Hopefully I can get around to making use of all these materials I bought and get my first one under my belt one day soon.  I think the last time I visited here was probably 6 months ago!

Hi Guys and Gals

 

I am new to the CBG and will be building mine soon. I live in Sacramento and would like to meet up with anyone in this area to play, build and the like. And also just to get to know more builders, players no matter where you are

Hey guys, just wanted to extend an invite to all of you to come jam at the Open Mic night I run down in Corona on Saturday nights. All music is welcome and all equipment is provided just bring your CBG's or instruments of choice. Most weekends we have a drum set available too so if you got a band and want to jam a few songs bring'em down. Shoot me a message if you want any more info!

Hey, guys.  Here is a lineup of shows that I'll be attending.  The shows are in Southern California in the Temecula wine country.  If you'd like to come out and see me and my guitars grab yourself a ticket and come on by.
