I don't play myself. I came across cbg while I was looking for cigar boxes for other projects. I was just very intrigued by the thought of building one. As with every 1st time project, my wife gets the 1st. I have 2 more in the works. I may actually have to learn how to play now.

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.
