I hope if the maker is a CBN member it doesn't put him off. It was a nice looker though, so credit there! Interesting that the inside looked as though it had been lined with gold foil or was it brass sheet? Presumably not an attempt to cut out rf interference with a piezo. Hmmm... gold foil? I line mine with aluminium foil for RF interference, gold would look great! Brass sheet ( You can get some in modeling shops.) would be pricey but would also counter weight a cbg well?

It wouldn't have done anyone any good to have been brutal...but I did have to have a little chuckle at the "...but wouldn't it look nice on a wall though?". Errr, yes, that's why people call some guitars "wall hangers".  There's room for all sorts of cigar box guitars...but as I said, putting a price on them is hard...they are worth what people are prepared to pay.

Fair play to ya CBJ, You could have been really brutal...Its guys like this who give the good builders a bad name...typical of some of the overpriced un-playable trash you see on ebay.....At £350 It looks good enough to hang on the wall he said...Err no thanks mate, I'd sooner hang a dart board its cheaper and it plays.

To me appearance is 2/10 of the value. Playability is 100/10 of the value. Without playability an instrument is worthless to me.
