    Thank you Ice Bob. Keeping up with the times, my afterthought was to name it, "Secret Tiger's Blood Tuning" Method for 4 string CBG Warlocks. LOL

    Hi Bob, thanks for inviting me to become friends. I'm new to the CBG revolution, although I have been a fan for long time. After reading a ton, and working out a design I thought I'd take the plunge and ordered parts for my first build. Hopefully they will arrive by the end of the week as I'll have my workbench clear by then. I'll be pickin' everyones brain for help as I'm sure I'll need it. Thanks again...Play on. I like you're posts.

    I will remove it if there is a problem Bob...Thanks by the way it's a great song.

    I have several CBGs, including a favorite built by Fuzzy, but I'm really looking forward to delivery next week of a 30" Macanudu from John Lowe.  Anticipating the fun & challenge of playing it.  Enjoyed your photos. Do let me know if there is any group sharing tips on tunings, etc.  Regards!

    Sep 5, 2012

  • Harvey Thompson

    Thanks for the insights. (No, not replied to earlier.)  I think John is free of the tyranny of having to play in "keys".  :-)   I asked several times what tunings those strings could handle and he just said, "If you break a string, try a smaller one."  I found D & E very "slack" with the strings he sent.  Currently up on "G" and no sign of stress on necks.  I measured distance to strings & will watch (along with tuner) for bowing.  I added fret markers at 3, 5, 7 & 9 for blues, using black elect tape and gold automobile pinstripe mylar.  Looks like "cigar bands."    (Its been suggested we need a "Lowebow Group".)

  • Harvey Thompson

    Nice Lowebow!!  I think Richard's is similar.  I noticed yours seems to have both the middle and bottom strings on the 3-string rod go across/above two pickups.  On mine (Macanudo) only the middle string crosses TWO pickups.  The top & bottom strings only cross one pickup.  So the middle RINGS OUT louder than others.  I put some elect tape on it at nut to dampen it down.

    Hello Ice Bob,

    I've reactivated my interest in building guitars, writing and recording. Video recording is still a bit awkward. Soon, I'll up load a song or two, sharing my builds and music interest. Definitely a great site to see an extremely diverse collection of styles here on the Nation.
