This is a piece I cobbled together and I feel it's still a work in progress. Called "Bufo Alvarius", for obvious reasons. I built the guitar back in February...

Very nice, love the way your CBG plays.  The action is too high on mine, what heights do you recommend for the bridge and nut?  Also do I need to add frets with when setting lower action?  Any help would be appreciated.

Very nice, I really like the haunting quality!

Nice playing and good composition. Well cobbled.

The Toad has specialized multi-cellular glands concentrated on the neck and limbs that produce a viscous milky-white venom that contains large amounts of the potent hallucinogen, 5-MEO-DMO. When vaporized by heat and taken into the lungs in the form of smoke, this indole-based alkaloid produces an incredibly intense psychedelic experience of incredibly short duration.  http://www.erowid.org/archive/sonoran_desert_toad/almost.htm

Nice fingerstyling!  I'm afraid, however, that the "obvious reasons" for the name escape me...
