  • Yep looking good for the first build every build your learn something new most of all keep it fun, I can see you like to use what’s at hand keeping it primal as Shane says , good luck with the future builds . 

  • Good luck on the project.  Your slot head looks dandy.  For some more to look at, check out Dave Lynas's photos.  He does some cool heads.

  • Thank you guys!

    Definitely going to factory tuners after this. No finesse to the eyebolts in regards to tuning. Would like to stick with a slot head design on future build but will try the three to a side classical center hole tuners next time.

    Dead Crops is the name of the neo-folk/dark folk project I’ll be starting once these guitars are up and running.
  • Wise words from our Uncle John. Just take him with a tweek of salt. Besides, when you’ve filled every available space with guitars and boxes in your home, you can quit building and just tweek em the rest of your life.

  • Hey, most of our builds need tweaked. Sometimes they don't seem to at first and that is kind of magical, but even those will benefit from a tweak or two later on. This one of yours looks really good and it's cool fun to use those home made machine heads. They (IMO) are going to need a lot of tweaking. Change it up next time with some factory tuners.

    I like your name and I hope it is not too truthful. Heat and lack of good rains are scaring us down here in Iowa.

    Welcome to CBGs and have fun. I often recommend knotlenny's CBG 101 as great start on playing. Google it or find it under resources at page top.

  • Looks great Dead, welcome to the madness!  : )
