Comment by Kigar on March 20, 2017 at 3:11pm: Based on your Thursday comment here, Dave I think maybe you are a Duluthier!

Comment by Dave Lynas on March 19, 2017 at 11:44pm: Nice tale of a CBGer. I'm an addict as well and need a bigger house. However that's not going to happen. Now I "improve" old builds. I'm taking my time and have many good instruments as a result. Welcome to our madness Zeb.

Comment by Zeb on March 19, 2017 at 7:37pm: Zeb, back after a time. Just built a 3 string short scale Candy tin with a bass soap bar. Plays well. All 3 of My previous builds were 4 string. I need some 3 string tab.I have Kenny Lee's cd so that will help. Some amazing talent in here. I will post some pictures when I get set up. New windows 10 is kicking My ass. LOL

Comment by Anthony adams on March 15, 2017 at 10:44pm: I too am kind of new at this social networking. But I love builking CBG, I get a lot of inspiration from Dave Lynas. He is my neighbor! Lucky me!

Comment by Ron Lutz on March 12, 2017 at 6:02am: Hi; Just joined up and trying to learn the protocol for posting photos and comments. Have no experience blogging so please forgive any multiple posts that may appear from me. I just posted a photo and comments but have no idea where it should or will show up yet.

I am thrilled to be part of the nation and look forward to meeting all of you creative people.
