I hear what you are saying.  Red cedar.  Hunh.   Pretty stuff.

Uncle John,

... this is the first build I made using Red Cedar for the finger board and am very satisfied with the results and the price I pay from the supplier for this type of wood.

Uncle John.

thanks for the kind words.... it has a fret buzz at the 11th fret which will have to be worked out by Wednesday evening; a friend is driving up from Macon to buy it.... like yourself, I have way too many CBG's sitting around collecting dust.... sometimes I just cannot bring self to part ways with some after they are completed and played.... right now, there are 15 cbgs, a Fender Strat & Tele plus a dulcimer in my shop that meet the "can't part with" criteria..... over the past Holidays I gave away 2 CBG's to the teenage daughters of another friend, as both are aspiring musicians... seeing the smile on their faces was worth every penny and moment spent putting those CBG's together...

This is SO pleasing.  Sit and gaze and look at the details and wood tones.....    Wow.  

I have way too many CBGs.   I need to gift some away..    I intended to just have and play my own builds, but I have several now from other builders.   Gifts or trades.   But this one tempts me.   I'm glad it is not a four because that would tempt me more.   I hope Shane sees this and makes it guitar of the day or week.
