Almost done with my first CBG

Posted by Christopher Call on February 26, 2010 at 1:59am in Building Secrets, Tips, Advice, Discussion
Hey there. Always wanted to build a CBG for as long as I can remember. Just now got down to doing it! Its about 98% done, and I am stoked! Used a Punch box, 38" 2"X1" red oak, and some hardware I had laying around the shop!!!!!!! Oh, and I also picked up a few small sink strainers for the sound hole on an impulse purchase! LOL :D One of them, "I bet this would love great on the guitar" kind of things!

There are plenty of images of it on this site so I will not post all of them yet again on here! I also documented the build on YouTube, if you care to see it send me a message!!!!!!!!

I am having a blast with this and cant wait to start playing it.

Thats it for now, hope to meet all you folks, and if there are anyone in AZ on here let me know. Would love to dive into the local CBG scean!!!!!!!!!

-Chris
