Perfect! Thank you.  This is my first attempt at a circuit board.  I'm putting it in my first CBG.  I dig your work.

Thanks for the string advice buddy! I bought a cheap set that had .042, .032, & .022. They worked out great. Now I just need to learn to play :)

If you have a guitar, copy the scale length from it. I used a thin aluminum bar from Lowes, laid it on my Martin (one end up against the nut) and marked the fret positions.

You can get templates here: http://www.scalelength.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=68

The 20 inch scale is a free download. I used it to make this guitar: http://www.cigarboxnation.com/photo/albums/4-string-cbg-5
