Jimbo, that is a nice CBG.

That is the exact description on me when I go in there. The last four pieces I bought were red oak also. I looked through some of the 6 ft. pieces-nothing worth taking home. Do they have it at Home Depot?

I hear ya man, time is what I never have enough of these days.
As for the necks, I have been using red oak from lowes, man they don't like me down there. I'm the guy that pulls all of the 1x2's out and looks carefully down them only to take the last ones i look at. lol!

Hey Jimbo, I know what you mean. I have had several requests for guitars since my first one. The good thing is I have collect quite a few boxes to build them with. My problem has been getting straight wood for the necks and time to build. Great problem to have!!

Wow , this is getting kinda scary. I have built one cbg for lil ol me. now when I show it off to other players around here they want me to build them one or they want one for some one for Christmas. So it seems I will be busy with this , and I just wanted to have a lil fun!

The sound hole covers are sink strainers from walmart, got em in the hardware section.
As for a fest, the only one I know of in the area is in Huntsville, I think they have it in June or July!
