Sounds daring! like person to person on your request ! Hats of John! how did you come up whit the plan, did they invite you at first? or did you ask at the place if you are aloud to? a bit like busking out on the street and see what  they think of it!  and these people look at your Video's To? i am surprised its  like open territory for me , it must be partly a Cultural thing as well John, this way has his own History aswell? i suppose? 

Hi John,! Sleek it is, small and sturdy, the pickup i used looks like a soap bar pickup but they are

Dimarzio  Bass Pickups

,you buy two for the price of one, about setup and electrification on my boxes this is it! think they are made in Italy look good and howl like BM whit a slide 

"Uncle John, Thank you so much for your complementary comments! It means a lot to me and it's inspiring me to go on building my cb guitars!"

They are a little of white more creamy to the yellow  beige  i sayJohn, just put the second one in one of my early boxes the classic resonater ,need to get a volume control today, they are ideal for my four's. and give a heep of sound control whit the amps i got and playing whit the stomp boxes gives way better control! 

cool, will check out the new story tomorrow : -)

Love the tale, Unc and thanks for the heads-up! Keep 'em coming!

Thanks Unc. As soon as I put the shirt on this idea popped into my head. I'm gonna blame it on the shirt.

read these soon after you put them on, but just realized I forgot to comment! I enjoyed them both, especially the first one!

Mornin' Unc!  We still have our health up here in MN.  I'm semi-retired again since last May.  Spent most of last Fall through December with my brother Rod.  He passed away on December 27.  Most of January was spent moping around feeling his loss.  Decided to get back to the business of living in February but it still hurts a lot.  Working on finishing off our lower level right now, also building a copy carver/duplicator thingy.  Haven't been to the CBN site for years now.  Just ran across your latest music video while perusing CBGittys news letter this morning...brought a smile!!!  ;-}  Take care old friend and hugs to Linda from Cindy and I.  Hope 2017 is a great year for you and yours!

Thanks Uncle John

Yup the Bone to!

Thanks Uncle John for your comment on the tenor.

Get into that workshop and make that six you've been thinking about!

Thanks very much Uncle John.  I am moving right along in my build.  Thanks so much for the offer.  It is much appreciated. I expanded my box today.  It had rounded ends, which I really like, but it was so shallow, so I added another 3/4" to make it 2 1/4" thick.  That should make for some nice resonance.  It looks pretty good too! :)  Thanks again for your offer.  If I have to scrap mine, I may take you up on your offer. :) So far, so good. 

tftl uncle!
