1st Attempt...

1st attempt at a CBG... sounds great, even unfinished...
Strung & Sung... a few finish items and it's done,,,
It sounds great, what a wonderfully sweet, mellow, clear, and clean, voice... my goal was to make the best sounding guitar for the very least amount of coin, and I think I did it...

I made a change from the original set-up, kept cutting the strings... I'll post a photo of the new set-up, still refining them, but it's real close, I've been callin them "kegs" because it's like a tuning key and a tuning peg... they're 1/8" toggle bolt, bolts, with 1/8" nuts and lock washers, plus a locking nut the plastic inserts a size larger than the bolt... and just adjust for height, feed the string through the locking nut and trun the nut and string onto the bolt, then tighten the nut & lock washer on the back of the head, and turn the screw to tighten the string... still revising it, but it works as is and holds tune...Delete Comment

The nut/bolt set-up I've been calling tuning "kegs" because they're like a tuning key & a tuning peg... still refining it, but wanted something other than eye-bolts or store-bought...
