This pic is my first CBG. Tuned GDG and Diatonic, may refret to chromatic as my fingers aren't long enough on the 25.5" scale.

Very well done!
I agree with BF, keep as is and build another!

Nicely done.  I wouldn't bother refretting as chromatic.  It isn't going to change the fundamental fact that the distance from fret 2 to 5 is a long stretch unless you use a capo on the 2nd or 3rd fret.  I have big hands and to fret a C chord with index and pinky is a stretcher.  Just play the music that is convenient on this guitar.  It has a voice and a song in there.

Build another and choose a shorter scale around 23 inches.  Or, pick up a regular scale length chromatic guitar and see how far you have to go down the neck with a capo before your longest stretch is fast and comfortable.  Try playing that for a little and then use your new capo scale length for a future build.

Have fun playing that one.  Looks nice.
