I got tuners at Music Makers yesterday and almost finished her up last night.
There are two or three other guitar shops on that end of Lamar. What strings and tuning was on the guitar I played at your house?
Thanks.
Jason

I hope to see you next weekend and if you do come bring a lot of those guits if you wanna sell some these folks are all musicians and CBG's are relatively new to them.

Yes the beer hole is pretty much the standard configuration now days.
I haven't made one with out a beer holder in a couple of years.
In fact the first Lowebro had a beer hole and I believe only two since then have been with out it.

At 12:23pm on December 29, 2008, Skeesix said…: no problem on the low funds - i totally understand. i had to take a long break on another project so i actually haven't sold that one yet, but i am gearing up to do so. can i use some of your comments about the pickup in my advertising, and your name?

At 10:33am on December 29, 2008, Jason Lambert said…: Thanks. I will check out specs. I live South East about 8 miles South of the airport.

At 7:46am on December 29, 2008, Jason Lambert said…: Hey Joe, thanks for the welcoming. I do love this place as I am just beginning and there is allot of info. Do you have a tip for boxes locally?
Thanks.

At 4:28am on December 28, 2008, Skeesix said…: that's my pickup in pic #8 isn't it? how's it sound? it's cool seeing it installed in someone's cbg.

At 8:23am on December 21, 2008, bucky said…: hey joe, nice to meet ya. I go to Austin every once in while. I have a handfull of good friends there so maybe we could meet up. My son keeps me at home most of the time. I built my first cbg in june '08 and ever since then I can't stop. I have only made five, but your right with each one I get better. Don't really know how to play guitar very well and anything I do know is open cord with a slide. It seems that I spend more time making them then learning to play 'em.

At 9:19pm on December 18, 2008, BrianQ. said…: that wasn't me , but i was actually thinking about making a pickguard with
that johnny cash picture underneath.

At 11:30am on December 18, 2008, Marty Cline said…: Thanks for the kind words, Joe! It was my first. You've made some nice stuff yourself and I have to agree with Brian - that Cash model is beyond cool...

At 9:16pm on December 17, 2008, BrianQ. said…: kool stuff, love that johnny cash 3 stringer!
