Very nice.   I play a lot of DGB also.    Good luck with the action.  Pretty important.  Just my opinion, but I like piezos fine for DGB.   I'm more often going for acoustic or amped acoustic with that tuning.

Good job and good idea on the stickers also! It does make the box look really cool if all the stickers are there :-)

So Its playable ... just !. I still need to lower the string action so I can fret it without slicing my finger tips open and I am yet to add (after I built it) a flat pickup. The tuning I finally settled upon is D G B using the 4th, 3rd and 2nd strings of a standard 6 string set. Its a 25 inch scale using a New Guinea Redwood (NGR) neck and bridge oh and the extra attachments are more of the same wood. just layered up. The fret board is birch I think? The inlays are black knitting needle. The Box is a Romeo Julieta box. The tax sticker and Habanos stickers were destroyed when trying to remove the packing tape from the box but were reprinted from internet images. I think they really give the box the CBG Character and looks a little bare without them. I also added a few extra printed images to personalize it to me.
