As far as I know, there aren't any tutorials on how to make 6 strings. I just finished my first 6 string cbg but I used a bolt on neck. And even then, I'm not so sure on the durability of it. I've been dicking around with 3 strings on it for now. Actually a lot easier to get into/adapt to than I thought.

A piezo transducer from radio shack and an input jack. Soder them together and there you go. there are plenty of "instructions" on the internet that tell you how to do this.

There is a link on the homepage to some CBG plans. They have some pretty simple instructions on how to install a piezo pickup.
