Hullo, just thought that someone might like a look at a couple of CBG's that I have made. The 3 stringer is made from an old nail box, and I play it with a slide, the frets a just a guide I spose.
Anyway I hope it give someone a bit of a grin. Cheers

I'm with Uncle John, the 3 stringer in particular is lovely. Those components that have been used for something else prior to bring build into an instrument such as this really do add character. I too have always thought this.

Well done! Like the nail box and using old stuff.

Uncle John, thanks for your positive comment. Apart from tuners and the pickup gear, all materials are reused,andhave a history, that shows in there "character" marks. Umm, I just had a squizz at your page, pretty impressive. Cheers mate.

Yup.  Nice diddley.  Just very nice.  At first, I was not so sure about that big bridge.  But ater looking a while, it kind of makes the whole package stand out.  Like those fine little f holes - do not see that often on a diddley.   I like the saw mark on the finger board too.

 

That 3 string is just excellent.
