Hi there! Sorry if I mispelled something, I am learning english.
I am new to the world of the CBG's and well, yesterday I just finish my first cbg and I though it was OK, but then I start to try to learn the basics but it was impossible! I don't get the same sound of all the other cbg's!
I order the CBGITTY starter pack and I just made it, I didn't use the nut and bridge that the pack had because I though it was very high (I play bass and a little guitar so I though it would be very high!). I put the tailpiece in the box, not in the bridge, I don't know how to say that, but for that are the images. I tune in OPEN G and my digital tuner tunes ok, but I think those tuning pegs are just horrible, they don't stay in tune, I THINK, or maybe I am doing something wrong.
It's electro-acoustic with a piezoelectric pickup and electric as acoustic the sound is different from other cbg's around youtube and other places.
Comment
Ok, I will do a new neck, a 25'' scale cbg.
Ron, you say I start with a 36'' stick, ok with that, but I first need to check the measure from the nut to the bridge to see where is the 25'' ? and then i just cut whatever is messing around with the stick right? then I put in the FRETCALC the scale and how many frets I want... how many frets you think is best? I wont put frets but just sharpie lines, the first neck of the other cbg has,but I dont have more fret wire and I am lazy hahahah
THANKS ALOT FOR EVERYONE WHO REPLY :)
oops I meant " your 12th fret should measure 10-1/4 inches from the nut."
What is your fret scale supposed to be? If you built it as a 20-1/2 inch fret scale, then your 12th fret should measure 10-1/2 inches from the nut; the saddle of the bridge should measure 20-1/2 inches from the nut. ..But only if you are working with a 20-1/2 inch fret scale.
can't setup... iam frustated hahahah i bought new strings, put a screw in the nut a good one, and i put a screw at the briodge, I didn't paste it so is just there.
I can't find to get the G at the 12th fret, g flat at 11th and the bridge almost in the tailpiece!!!
I will burn my cbg hahahaha, does a longer neck will help??? WHAT CAN I DO? like a say the scale from the tailpiece to the nut is 24 inches WHERE SHOULD BE THE BRIDGE???
