At 6:00am on September 24, 2010, Dianne Woods said…: Ben, you are very welcome. Thanks for sharing your builds with us.

At 2:25pm on September 23, 2010, Doctor Steve said…: Hey Ben, just checked out your new web site http://www.countryboycustomcbgs.com/. Looks fantastic!

At 7:52am on September 23, 2010, Dianne Woods said…: Ben, you should be proud of yourself on your builds. They are great, and top of the line, very nice. Great job with all the details.

At 4:12am on May 24, 2010, Jon Pruett said…: I love the look of your resonators! I see on most of your builds (and some others) there is a piece that goes across the top of the strings and is mounted to either the resonator, or the box. Is that piece just a palm support, or does it serve a sound function as well?

Thanks,
