Thanks for the warm welcome 0 have now built my first JBG (Jewelry Box Guitar) I have posted photos here on the site. I love playing this guitar - I always liked slide but the frets got in the way and now I realise that this is way to do it - will be working out my next project - I keep looking at things now and thinking "Hmm, I could use that on my next CBG" Cheers, Jwaye Noel et Bonnane
Thank you for your comment. An upcoming lesson. This song is a great example of the bottleneck style. 3 chords, classic slide lick, and nothin' but the 5 note Blues scale. Really defines the style. Happy Holidays. Enjoy.
cheers for the comments on the cbg tres. it's good to give...and even better to recieve!

Thanks Tres. I am going to try that on the red oak on my next build if I ever get done with this one. Use the saw, chiesel and then the wood rasp. Thank you for the suggestion.
love your builds.
i like to finish even the part of the neck most people won't see, too.
also, i now have good reason to go on an archeological dig through my pack rat stashes and dig out all those little 'altoid-ish' tins i have... like anacin and violet candy ones...z.
Hi,Tres.... yes... thank you..i probably should have 'friended' you right off...
i'm a bit overwhelmed with all the buttons, etc, and am only just learning what's what.
i was already overwhelmed---i should say 'jaw-droppingly-impressed!!!'-- with all of you here. ... you are all 'stars' and i is 'star-struck'....z.
