I prefer 4 strings to the three so I can add a 3rd note or play chords with a 4th or 7th note. You play the usual 1 -5 -1 chords like the 3 stringers and a low 1 for drone note or go real low to use as a bass string. Lots of options.
It is good to have you for a friend, Jose. Yes on the 4 strings. I one tuned DGBE like the 4 small strings of a standard six string guitar. I can play it in 5 keys plus use a capo.
I also have some tuned GDGB, which sounds good, but is mostly good for playing in the key of G.

yes a bumper would be more secure , this one is deep enough to hold it in place . next one will probably have a bumper
I made a simple L shaped mount for my CBG and hung it on the wall
It's always better to have more if needed or not than to need and not have. Hahaha

You are correct Jose, in my opinion. Here are two videos I posted to YouTube talking about this.
