Cheers for the comment on my guitar. Of course it is tuned to a banjo. What other tunings are there? (What I mean is 'other tunings worth using')
have a good christmas mate.

Im also intrigued.... did you manage to get the bridge in exactly the same place? I wonder if your 'duff notes' maybe wernt duff at all, maybe the intonation is just out a bit?? Anyway, top notch job on the build and the playing and the singing 11/10 :o)

At 10:22pm on October 11, 2009, Roosterman said…: Excellent news mate!! Any pics of the finished piece?? Its great when they just sell themselves like that - and the mrs cant complain coz your hobby is paying for itself!! :o) Good work!

At 7:48pm on October 11, 2009, HOLLOWBELLY said…: thats very generous dude (re telephone mic)-Redshaw has actually made me one and is shipping it down south this week, so it'd be a bit greedy of me to have 2-mind you,thats not a rule I've ever applied to cbgs! lol

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

http://shop.ebay.co.uk/piezo%20pickup?_from=R40&_trksid=m38&_nkw=piezo+pickup&_naf=1

£4.99 post free leads jack the lot all you gotta do is glue and drill. I just tried it in a stomp box worked well and out of interest bluetacked to my CBG and iwas suprised how well it sounded a little on the bassy side but i like that . So if anyone is looking for cheap piezo's he is worth a look

At 8:31pm on May 28, 2009, Roosterman said…: Thanks for your comments man - I do what I can! The headstock was a learning curve for me too mate. I tried the 'thin one end off on the circular saw' method with limited results, so now I angle them - its one cut with the saw, and to be honest the way I do it it doesnt even need the offcut glueing on the underside - though I do for asthetics. Anything you need a hand with, just ask!
