Thanks U.J. I thought you'd like that short scale ;-) You saw my very first fretless (non cigar box) 4 string build. You remember the one that Arnold Swratzeneger could not lift, it's soooooo damn heavy. This was my first official CBG, it had some old electric guitar strings on it so I restrung it with new strings and it don't sound to shabby.

Thanks Adam! My first build was just an old wooden box I used for a trial run and it turned out OK, this was my first "official" CIGAR box git.

That's a cool lookin' 52 man!

Dang! Wish my first was this tidy. 

Dig your style Mr. Dog!
