Me having a go at House of the Rising Sun on a three string cbg. Using a low dad tuning (lowest three strings from a set of six). Kustom Arrow 16DFX amp on the clean channel with some reverb.

Spec of the guitar is dark 601 box, parana pine neck, rubber wood fretboard and bridge (part or the bridge is cedar), ebony nut and saddle, 19 frets with copper side markers, gold plated tuners, two piezo discs sandwiched in the bridge, oil finish to box and neck. Strings are electric even though there is only piezo amplification.

Hi Stephan and Bob.

Really nice of you to comment and much appreciated.

Stephan. Pickups like that are nearer than you think. Just turn right along the High St. to Maplins. This one has a couple of Maplin 27mm piezo discs in the bridge.

All the best.

John
