Oscar Stern replied to Slowpaw Steve T's discussion Converting a three string CBG to four string in the group Four String Cigar Box Guitars

"That's very cool, adding a 4th string gives you more versatility. How about we got a step further & convert a 4 string CBG into maybe more strings than that like 5 or 6 strings. What we'd need to do is change the neck."

6 String

"I'm planning on converting my 4 string CBG into a 6 string so that I have more range of notes I can play, The tuning I'm using on it is D, G, C, F, A, D w/ Magma GAT-D Strings because I'm having issues singing the high notes."

Buzzing strings when fretted. Frets look good. I have a zero fret license plate guitar. Break angle I can inprove at the nut however the buzzing is coming from the bridge, I used a banjo bridge.
