...jeg mener selvsagt "customized"... Man får velge mellom ulike vrengdioder. Jeg bygger slike med gitarelevene mine på årets juleverksted 11./12. desember.

Too bad if you do not speak scandinavian:
Takk for det. Jeg bygger fra byggesett laget av min gode venn Claudio Forlini (fra Roma, Italia, av og til i Bergen). I bloggen ligger det en lenke til denne: http://youtu.be/s7P2JA5-CBU
Jeg kan ha min egen TEASTORTION stand (costomized fuzz) på scandinavian CBG festival.

Kjempe bra side!! Har du flere bilder af gitarene du har bygget? Kunne kanskje tenke mig en teastortion :)
tilbake til engelsk så andre kan være med.

I´l think about a location for it! Lets work on it! :)

I live just behind Bryggen. Building CBGs with kids/youngsters is a great way of making the CBG community grow, and it would be fantastic to have groups of kids perform in a festival. Excited about the idea. What is the best place for it? I put our 3 string CBG arrangements (really easy to slightly advanced) here: http://cigarboxguitar-norway.blogspot.no/?m=1

I´m born and raised in Bergen :)
Cool video ! Where do you live in Bergen? 

Who else could be interrested in a festival?

Comment by sindre sortland on November 20, 2013 at 10:06pm
A Scandinavian CBG festival is possible, but it will probably be a tiny one. I live in Bergen, Norway, play CBG and I build CBGs from kits and home made fuzz boxes with my guitar students (8-17 years). http://youtu.be/SHgoeV8wonE

Hi Brian! Thanks for wishing me welcome. If you have the time, and "warn" me in advance (I'm not always at home) when you visit your in-laws, please call and we might meet to swap ideas  etc. and you maybe will  like Larvik too. You find my number in the 180 site.
