At 2:49pm on April 10, 2011, Ice Bob said…: thank you for the cbg i played it all the way home to my familys dismay hope to get a video out this week

At 3:21am on March 21, 2011, Habanera Hal said…: Hi Ted and thanks! Your Dad is a great guy. I hope you both had a great time at Lowebow! And I hope you can help me with a project. Bud asked me for a CBG and I'm a bit stuck on the design. I'd like to make something that will have some personal meaning to him, but when I asked him what he'd like he said, "Just build whatever you want."

What sort of hobbies or interests does he have? I was thinking about a card players theme (using card suits for the fret markers, for instance) but I don't have much beyond that. I want to finish it for his birthday so I need to get on the stick with it. Any advice you can give would be great.

Thanks, and keep on strumming!
