Its beautiful, congrats
Chris, Very nice start for your first CBG. My first got me hooked as well and I had several things to work out to make it play the way it should. It's a learning activity that gets better. So many boxes, so little time.
Looks great and congratulations! An ambitious first build!
Piezo pickups are finicky with volume pots. Try a 1M pot...
BTW: It's not an addiction... I could stop at any time... I just don't want to! :-) I'm working on #27. I keep finding excuses to sell them or give them as gifts so I can make more!
