<p>The hardest thing for a newbi like me is keeping the guitar in tune, I have to retune it every time I pick it up. Are there better tuning machines that will fit a 1/4 in tuning peg hole, or do I have to have the holes redrilled Any and all help is appreciated!</p>

Hello folks,<br />
I am sharing a recent build, a Greek instrument that inspired my Gourzouki.<br />
It has a gourd body, maple neck, walnut fret board, walnut nut, maple/walnut bridge, Paduk accents.<br />
It really has an interesting sound and plays a lot like a 3 string instrument.<br />
DAd set up, just like an actual bouzouki.

<p>Hi all..So i've run across some pics of CBGs where the 1x2 neck is mounted to the top of the box rather then through the box...I've personally only ever built through the box CBGs but i wanted to get opinions on the "on top of the box" style.... Thanx </p>

<p>Ladies and Gentlemen</p>

<p>I recently finished my first CBG. I put in the Gold Nugget Piezo pickup w/volume pot that I got from CB Gitty. I'm plugging into a Danelectro Honeytone. Getting a loud background hum, but it goes away if I touch the volume pot knob, or the metal ends of the cable. I'm hoping there is a way to eliminate or minimize the hum. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks!</p>
