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

Give me 2/3 weeks ~ I`m a Chef at a private club and things are going strong right now . April looks busy so............... free time is all most non existent. But have two box's set to go. Just have to find time to stop by Lowe's. Have an old Berringher guitar that am going to pull tuning pegs off of. Electronic's shot so going to hook up with Ted and pick up a harness and bridge/piezeo set - up.

I've done toothpick frets, but not wild about the feel. I may cave and buy some real fretwire. I hear it's not that big a deal, but just doesn't have that MacGyver feel...

At 9:13am on March 21, 2009, Jim Mitchell said…: Mr. Nuge sir, like the Punch 4 banger if you don't mind my asking what do you have under the hood for electronics?

At 9:11am on March 21, 2009, Jim Mitchell said…: Hey Man thanks for the comment. Yes it is oak for the neck and walnut on the headstock, but the fingerboard is actually padauk.

Are the frets in you profile pic made with copper wire?

At 4:51am on March 11, 2009, Blkbird said…: Hey Nuge, Thanks for the invite. Your guitars look real nice! I've been helping my kid make his first one. He's the player... I'm the listener and proud dad. We just made our first one with a few tweaks to finish up. Doesn't sound too bad. We're anxious to get started on another one. See ya around.

Maybe after I finish the 4 stringer i am planning ,I'll have better luck not getting my fingers tied in knots. lol. I finally just accepted that building will have to suffice as my contribution to the music world.

At 10:04am on March 6, 2009, Hamhock said…: Hey Nuge, glad to be friends with ya,,,

Ham
