the guitar making is my strangest hobby....and everything I do takes longer than if I were a real woodworker...so they don't really live in a commercial setting.....they are much more important to me as solid mementos of the time of my life when I built them.
I have started a CBN group entitled, "How to Play CBG" It is my hope and intention to encourage the "Wealth of Talent" here on the Nation to share their knowledge and skill to further the CBG movement. Please consider contributing an instructional "video" link to this group. If you are a viewer seeking instruction, please feel free to write. If you have any suggestions or know other players who you think may want to post instructional "video" links, please contact me. Thank you for your interest and support, Keni Lee
Yes thanks i'm Good , hope you are too ?
like your story of your visit to the UK - you encounterd our Police then lol!! - our police are ass holes they don't need Guns because they know once you step over the white line ,your straight off to the Police Station for a serious Kicking - so most people dont step over the line lol!!
as regards the reso The wire i used was from a Audio Cable (phono lead) you know the type that goes in the back of a Stereo Red & white ends , cut the ends of and theres two wires in each cable and the middle core is sheilded which cuts down feedback/interfearance
the strings on the reso are 3mm from the freatboard/fingerboard - i also play slide and fretted (well i try ) lol !
if you check out my pics of the reso theres some pics of the inside , you can see what i did to brace the box , you may not need to brace the box , all depends on what neck and reso sound well you have used - do you have any pics of it ?
Good to here from you mate , take it easy now !

Hope your keeping well and the suns high in the sky !
the bridge in the pics i sent you is the one that comes with the Reso set coverplate/cone /bridge and biscuit , it's made from Ebony and Maple dont see as it matters what you make it from , i have replaced mine for a single bit of bone , sounds much better , used a Bone Saddle blank and trimmed it to size
i have been using Earni Ball Regular strings , used the bottom four , but i have now purchased some medium accoustic strings which are a heavier gauge , gonna fit them today so i wiill let you know how i get on with them
i'm expecting them to sound a little warmer in sound played acoustically but not so sure what they will sound like with the magnetic pickup as the strings are bronze wound , which means they will only have a thin steel core to the strings ?? gotta try these things aint ya !!
get your wife some ear plugs and send her off to bed lol!!
take care mate
