Hi Guy's, does anyone know what has happened to the Australian site?  It looks like someone forget to pay the rent!  In all seriousness is that it closed down?  Cheers Russell Continue

Hi Gary - thanks for the welcome.

Bought my first cbg just a month or so ago - I'm certainly no guitarist but even I seem capable of stringing a few notes together on my little 3-string. Really keen to learn though!

I've already embarked on my first build and am loving that process.....cannot wait to get it finished!

Anyway, looking forward to getting in touch with a few local cbg fans.
