    We got our order yesterday just in time for Christmas.

    It included the two speaker CBG amp, which is just beautiful.

    Thanks you CB Gitty, and Merry Christmas!!!

    Hello Rodger, yes that is definitely on the to-do list. Expanding our line of necks and fretboards is a high priority. Options!

    Any chance we might see a though neck style 23" scale that's fully fretted?

    I'm not a huge fan of bolt ons. I fear that I may botch the drilling and have the whole thing miss aligned.

    Thanks!

    Hi Scott. The threaded part of the pot is just over 7/16". What I have done when mounting them on a thin box is shim the back side with washers so it doesn't stick through too much. I make some of my own knobs too so I just drill the depth to fit on some of them.

  • Scott W February 18, 2014 at 9:17pm
    Can anyone tell me the length of the threaded shaft on the "standard long-shaft 250K and 500K Pots"? I just want to make sure that the depth of a standard knob will not leave a metal shaft showing below the knob without modifying them.

HOBO FIDDLE

I just finished building a hobo fiddle from a kit and it turned out really well.  This one has the nylon strings.  I was wondering if anyone has built one and installed steel strings and if so what guage would work for the higher pitch.

CBG Tune-O-Matics?

Up until recently, I have used tuneomatics on my builds. A simple mod by removing the first and last saddles to accommodate a 4 string guitar.  I just screw the bridge down without thumbwheels or  the wooden base. Fits a flat top nicely without any mods to the wood or box as you would a telecaster. Anyway, I thought there should be a 4 saddle tune-o-matic floating around so I spent a whole night googling for one.  I saw some bass versions but the measurements proved to be too large for a CBG. …

Pure and Simple kit

Finished my first CBG kit from CB Gitty. I'm pretty impressed with the quality and ease of building. The instrument is a blast to play too. My wife and I were taking turns on it and practicing riff from Shane Spiel's YouTube videos. Are CBGs the new crack? Cause I feel like I'm addicted.
