On my morning run I made the decision; today I start on my first CBG.  In my basement is every thing I think I'll need with the possible exception of tuners.  Used pallet from pellet stove fuel = neck.  Left over piece of cheap paneling = box.  Lots of miscellaneous nuts bolts screws and stuff for the hardware.  Planning a 3 string fretless biased toward the bassy side.  I am NOT an engineer type so there is no real plan.  I own and have owned many fine and not so fine instruments but am a rough carpenter at best.  Will post some pictures as I get going.  I have a new song running through my brain and I can't wait to see if it will work on my CBG!  Woo Hoo!!!
