Nut, bone and I get it off ebay 5 for $10 or (now I know this) you can use corian. Ask a local counter top specialist if they have old samples.

Bridge, threaded stock or bolts. I also have made them from aluminum L-bar from Lowes

Take a look at where the top of the tail meets the top of the lid. This is also where the neck would meet on the other end. Below is how I reinforce the neck where the lid recess is (also a sound recess -- the extra recess in the pic).

Travis, Here is a pic of how I position the neck to the lid.

I bought ten and threw away all the packaging -- I think it is mentioned in the PDF file listed first under "Free Plans".

All my builds to date have piezos harvested from Radio Shack's 1.99 buzzer part: I'm pretty pleased with them overall. I use an xacto / pliers to cut / break off the case, and then sandwich the piezo disc between to thin bits of wood before attaching to the lid.

Welcome aboard, Travis! You will find lots of helpful folks and information here on all things CBG (CBB, CBU, etc.) Feel free to poke around, ask questions, and post your stuff (photos, recordings, videos, etc.).

Most of all, have fun!

Tres.
