My latest CBG made out of a small paper-covered H. Upmann box. This nearly went in the bin on several occasions because it just didn't want to be a pretty guitar. Glad I kept going with it because it sound OK.
For the record, I know that the UK is part of Europe, I meant mainland Europe - hence it needs to go as flight luggage.

Yeah, Squiffy was good.  Nearly went in the bin a few times but was really great fun to play when it was finished.

Thanks Jason and Steve. I just tuned it up by a couple of semitones (I think). It's a short scale with light strings so the string tension on GDg is quite low. Tuning it up a bit has made it better :-)

Thanks Nancy. I could play if I practiced but every time I start practicing I get distracted into the shed to make something else :-\

Very nice lookin' and WONDERFUL sounding git, Digly. 

Or should I call you Dog?   Or Mr. Dog?  Or Mr. Diggly?

Huh.  If you were southern US, I might call you Bubba.   You kind of look and seem like a good ol' boy and a Bubba.
