Comment by Skeesix on September 30, 2010 at 7:32pm: I don't know how I missed this group. I'm in Cincinnati. Been playing "real" guitars since the 80's. Been doing CBG's about 5 or 6 years now. Awhile back I decided to specialize in pickups for CBGs. I have a website http://skeesixcbgs.com where you can buy pickups, plus a lot of other cool info.

Comment by Jay Patton on August 29, 2010 at 9:56am: Hey, everyone. I got into this about a year ago. I've been playing for about 18 years. Originally from Waynesville (Dayton area), now in Gahanna (Columbus). @ completed, making plans for #3 right now.

Comment by Tracy Kennedy on April 20, 2010 at 10:46am: Hi All! Im Tracy. I learned about CBG's when I ran across a plan in an old BOY MECHANIC book from the 1920's. As you all should know by looking at the Free Plans / Lessons Page of this site there is a plan that was published by Dan Beard for the "Uncke Enos Banjo". Dan Beard is the founder of the Sons of Daniel Boone in 1905, which Beard later merged with the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) in 1910. I am a Cub Scout Den Leader and I was looking for projects for my den to work on. One thing led to another...I now have an addiction, better known as CBG syndrom
