Thanks Mark! I'd love a fretted 4 string resonator cbg, and that's something I wouldn't to to try to tackle this early in building. Any links or anything you can share to somebody making them??? Thanks again.

Hi Dano, Welcome aboard, I am an artist as well out in Eugene Orygun been at it almost 20 years now, only been buildin about 6-7 months now and its a frickin addiction I find myself EVERYWHERE I go looking at random crap looking for parts,but the wife enjoys that I go into the pots and pans section with her until I start tapping on things for tone, ain't felt like this for a long time actually since early in tattooing so glad to have a fellow artist aboard,Anyways I saw you were thinking about a four string reso I tried one for my sixth build and found these videos pretty helpful  if they aint already on this site     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEBa_fsLsVI
