Chickenbone John has been building. selling and promoting CBG's for years in his own British,self depreciating, quiet, businesslike way.He is, quite simply, the real thing.The first CBG I ever bought? thats right-built in Birmingham by Chickenbone John.

At 6:48am on November 30, 2009, Roosterman said…: Hiya mate, yup the Castrol is nearly done! Im all for the tin opener approach (leaving the rolled edge of course) but if I was doing another, I would do the internal block differently. I got a bit carried away and cut the block too short, so had to add the 'top and bottom' bits which kind of defeated the easy access idea! Need to come up with a solution for getting my neck sockets and bridges perfectly lined up too.... strat necks are a little wider than SG junior bridges!! ho hum...

if you are looking for helpers for the second cigarbox festival, I would be willing to offer my services on the day provided that a date is arranged in enough time for me to be able to book some time of work.

At 4:46am on October 16, 2009, Dylan Drummond said…: Oh excellent, that's great news! I'm a photographer by profession (partly) and I was taking images for the Fest n Furious Festival here in Dundee lately - I saw the Hot Seats live and was very taken with their music.... I bet I would have liked the CBG Festival! and then I got to remembering Seasick Steve on Jules Holland a while back and got looking at CBGs on Utube and well here I am.... :) do you have a website with instruments for sale or are they made to order?

Thanks,

Dylan.
