Hi all, I'm a recent transplant from Washington state to North Conway NH. I just got turned on to CBGs and would be open to any kind of meet and greet. I also would like to work on some type of CBG gathering up this way.

Anyone still living here?

Hey all, I have not been here much, but still messing with the cbg's. Good to see some New England action, even if it is from NY state. : )

Thanks for the compliment on the SB Uke.  Those lunchboxes make great sounding instruments.  I have a Smurfs, Yoda and Kermit in the queue.   These will probably be short scale guitars.

I only have my family with me about half the time when I'm in Boston so I'll be looking around for local CBG'ers to hang out with or maybe busk on a T platform.  Oily Fool stopped in for a visit with his family this summer when he was in town for vacation.

Moved to New Hampshire about 7 years ago. Got into building CBGs about 3 years ago. playing these instruments has givin me such joy, almost as much fun as the build. Love the sponge Bob uke.

Hi Eric.  Saratoga Springs is just up the road from us.  Here's a pic of my "Wall of Shame" in East Boston.  Since taking the pic I have also hung up 2 of my lunchbox ukes.

Just signing in here.  I'm a part-time resident of East Boston and I keep several guitars and an amp in easy reach.
