Howdy Keith.  Welcome to a fun double hobby.  Making playable instruments and making music. Most of us start fretless and GDG tuning.  Google the Knotlenny CBG 101 for a good lesson on that.   If you are a long time player, fretted banjos are not too hard to make after you get some experience.   DGBE or DGBE fretted four strings or DGB 3 strings are great for someone who already plays.  Tapered neck six strings are beyond the skills of most of us.

Hi, I'm Keith, I'm a long time guitar/Banjo player and "wanna-Be" wood worker and have decided to start building my own to give to my friends and family, as of now I'm working on my third CB Git. with hopefully many more to come!! Playing your own hand made instrument is really rewarding!!

Welcome Nayeb. There's lots of helpful information on music and how to build instruments in "The Essential Pages" at the top right of the page. Also several groups and forums in the "posts" icon at top middle in red.

Hello again,
I came back from 2011. 10 YEARS AFTER.:-)
I like mostly cigarbox music. I have several CGBs but they are not popular over here Japan. I write some songs and play CBG. I respect Shane Speal and many of CBG players.
Best regards,
FUMIKAZU TAJIKA

Welcome here Peter.
CBGitty has a bunch of pickups to choose from and they do great customer service.

Hello folks

I'm new here. I have retired from professional life and am now simply enjoying the freedom to make, mend and build all sorts of crazy projects which please me.

I was given an empty wine box, so I made an acoustic three-string guitar with it. A friend suggested I add a pickup to it.

My main aim is to recycle and re-purpose wherever and whenever possible. You'll see how my weird head works if you take a look at my first post.

Cheers

Peter
