New illinois guy (Geneva) Hi all

Just started CBG's about 6 months ago have made 2 fret less 3 stringers one diddly bow a 4 string fret less , one fretted 3 string with a pickup I wound on my home made winder. I'm currently working on a nother fretted 3 string with a domino topped wand wound pu. I just had some pu forms laser cut and will post the file later if any one is interested. My iPad on this forum seems to only allow one photo per post so I wiil do a few for some photos.
