Torsten I am using the three top strings of a regular acoustic guitar but I am turning them down with the top string to a B then the second string would be an E and then the third string would be an A hopefully this will reduce the bow in the bass guitar Thanks for your interest Mike
Guten Tag Thorsten ! Danke fur ere reactionen, Yes ! Its oke! to make a remix, but i want to hear it before you put it online!! and only use it for on the CB Nation! thank you!
Hallo Thorsten, zu deiner Anfrage, ob Slide oder bundiert - also beides, da ich gewöhnt bin, mich an den Bünden zu orientieren. Übrigens, habe einen kurzen Bericht über meinen Yamaha THR Amp im Forum geschrieben. Absoluter Hammeramp mit natürlichen (simulierten) Röhrenamps. Falls es dich interessiert, kann ich dir das Teil mal vorstellen.

Hoi Thorsten, ein CBG-player in Nenzing. Das ist ja echt cool. Ich warte noch auf meine 1. GBG, die ich von ChickenboneJohn auf meinen Wunsch anfertigen lasse. Hoffentlich taucht das Ding bald auf, da kann ich mal auf einer 3-saitigen Kiste rumhobeln. Werde wohl etwas üben müssen - haha.
Schöne Grüße, Willi

Hey Thortsen, I don't hit the friend button much so thanks, always wanted too visit the Alps. We have the Sierra Mtns. here I did alot of backpacking when I was young. I got hurt and haven't done more then a few day hikes in the last 20 years, I bet you get a kick out of playing Dobro. Take Care.
Thorsten,
As increasingly happens, I could have sworn we were already Nation Friends. Glad we are now. I can't say thank you enough for all the time, effort and talent you've put into the TVZ tribute! You are a treasure.

No Thorsten, i didn't build this wonderful CBG. they are from Olivier ( Tinqui8) I've met him in the south of France last summer. He's a wonderful Guitar player and singer also. I'm going to try to build my own CBG, but i don't know if i can play guitar, so wait and see. :-)

Hi Thorsten,
Thanks for the offer of assistance.
My first questions are what scale length did you use and how did you determine the fret placement?
Thanks,
Roger
