Just finished a 6-string cb guitar...
neck : Tara
tuners: 60's Fender stratocaster F-tuners
string trees: Tusq
nut: unbleach bone (unknown origin)
cigar box:Fabrica de Tobacos (8"x11")
neck support to bridge: redoak
bridge: classic guitar bridge [ebony] altered string hole locations plus routed out for the piezo pickup
pickup: under saddle piezo
output jack: 1/4" to some size that the piezo pickup plugged into and has an end for the strap to connect to
saddle: an old applause saddle (plastic)
strap: two black belts
Might try to build another cb guitar from what I learned not to do building this one...
thought of maybe using a 3-foot canoe paddle as a neck?

I have to say I love this quote

A different bridge (not wood, maybe adjustable metal bridge...)
But, the classic bridge fits the box and looks good!
Still playing games with the string height, needs to be lower without string rattle..
I’m a fan of stainless steel frets, too...
Very nice. And these guys are right... don't resist... let the madness wash over you...
:D
A canoe paddle will make a pretty fine solid body git all by itself. As for building another, how can you not? One isn't enough, and there are just too many possibilities before you. Soon, if not already, the ideas will consume your thoughts, and your time. Join us in the obsession.
Very nice, great job.
great start .. and there WILL be more . ;-)
