The guitar is complete,except for strings,outer shell for the case done.Worked a couple of hours on the inner bottom half of case,installing guides,dividers n such before I start padding and upolstery.Pics to come.

Started on a new build about two weeks ago,another 3 stringer with what I hope has a distressed/used finish on the wood and metal parts.Since my son has laid claim to my first CBG I built,this one will be for my own use.As a additional challenge,I'm gonna attempt to build a case for it as well,a first for me.If all goes well,the case will also house my harmonicas,and have a built in amp,we'll see...:)…

Boxes almost complete,necks fitted,getting closer.

Started building a couple of CBG's for my niece and nefew,I call them the Twins,even though there will be some differances in the two.Both will b traditional three string,with maple tops,as always with my builds,the boxes are hand made as well.…

Always have been interested in CBG,have tinkered with a couple that belonged to my friends,then I finally decided to build one.My first problem was I couldn't seem to find a box the size I wanted.The cure,as suggested by my friend was to build the whole guitar from scratch,box n all.Sooo thats what I'm doing.

 I started about three weeks ago,progress has been slow,but steady,not wanting to rush and make too many mistakes.Here r some pics of the build up to the point I am now in…
