Thanks, Doug. Compared to my first CBG, this plays much better - lower string action and smoother fretboard.

Thanks Uncle John. The sound is much better, plugged in and not, than my first CBG, which sounds very dull and anemic by comparison.

The string hold-downs after the bridge and before the nut aren't elegant and were necessary fixes, and I'd prefer to alter the headstock and probably use a fixed tail - next time.

It’s a looker Sean! All the elements go together nicely.

Very sharp. I bet its sounds good both plugged and un.  I like your solution to down pressure on the sadldle.
