      UH OH, you have discovered the secret of how to support your habit. If you have one that you like,put a "not for sale" price on it. I sold one like that even. They wanted it worse than I did. Those Java boxes make good looking gits. Congrats on the sale,but you got it bad now. No hope. (;-D)

        Even worse,the cigar shop is only about 5 minutes from the house.

        What suprised me is i thought it was a not for sale price.

        Plus,this keeps me out of trouble

        Getty for parts,Cigar shop for boxes = Happy wife,happy life

        This is the best thing i have found since i started making stringed instruments

        Some of the other things i have made,The Flying V uke306512276?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024

          That is a nice one there.Stay at it.

    Very cool. Is it bassy with the the long scale and tele neck pup? I was thinking of doing a meavy metal chugger with a 27" scale.

    Sound clip please oh please?

    Also; cheap addiction. I think I spent $25 making a very nice diddley bow. I spend about $100-150 on a regular electric CBG, but I buy the necks built and select pickups, electronics, and tuners. Pretty much end up with the 'Gibson' of CBG's for that.

      Thanks guys.

      It is bassy,not sure if i can figure out how to do sound clip but ill give it  a try after work

      Im lovin makin theese cause it only takes about 8 or 9 houres to build and this one is made of left over and free stuff so im only in it about 20 american

    Addiction? I'd have to agree with you there, I've picked up this habit now of looking at something and wondering if I can build a guitar out of it. Her who must be obeyed has hidden her jewellery boxes just in case :-)

    Nice build by the way. . .
