23” scale length, GD tuned, flourocarbon fishing line strings, disc piezo pickup, neck from a 2x4 scrap, and lots of 3D printed components. Got the cigar box from Total Wine for $.49!!!

Thanks for the positive comments Uncle John! I like the contemporary graphics on this box which work great for a left hand orientation. It’s on the quiet side acoustically, but comes to life when I plug it in.
That sums it up nicely Kale! Without a doubt, the 3D printer is my favorite tool. Although my table saw, planer, and router came in handy for the neck.
Thanks Rich! I have gotten plenty of great ideas and inspiration from the California Zoom Gang. Creativity doesn’t happen in a vacuum and that is what makes CBN great. Lots of amazing contributors to stimulate building efforts.
It has been been interesting following the process and creative solutions to problems you've encountered on this Futuristic take on CBG building of yours, Doug.
You've evolved quite a bit from the first ones. Good work, man.
Thanks! Not sure I’ll sell a million Andries. Most of my guitars are sold locally to those who are interested in learning how to play and at below market prices. If I ever get overwhelmed with orders the prices will be going up!
a real beauty Doug ! your concept in full bloom ! nice! price box for hole sale ,but he! your stepping up the Market !! great color scheme indeed! hope you sell a million !!
Thanks for the uplifting comments BrianQ! I really like this style build. It’s easy to build with no box cut outs, sounds great, and has that classic CBG looks that customers expect. The Uncle Crow style, as much as I like it, just hasn’t been well received.

White box wonder. Looks great.

A 49 cent box, a wood scrap, and 3-D print the rest. I love it Doug.

You’re on a roll Doug! You developed a great prototype, that will continue to evolve, love it!!
