Very nice twist on the CBG. That looks like a really well thought out build.

That's great, hope he likes it and gets a lot of play time out of it.

It's a smashing success!  Sorry, I couldn't resist. ;)

Hi, thanks for the (smart) comments guys. Some stages had me stumped, but I did not run out of ideas. This one would be a keeper it is wasn't promised to its new owner.

As luck would have it the humbucker came from a B C Rich heavy metal style guitar, and that is among the styles this guy plays.

Have you ever trained someone to do something and they turn out better than you? Some years ago my grandson and I went to a Tommy Emmanuel concert, when we got home he went to his bedroom and within about 15minutes had one of the songs from the concert worked out.

I love instruments build out of objects meant for something else.  I've got a pair of crutches in the garage waiting to become lap steels, myself.  The stand is the real kicker for me.  Nice.

That is just TOO COOL for words.

The bat is a perfect body for a guitar and anyone familiar with the game will recognize it immediately. \

Your grandson should be a hit anywhere he plays this one.

Nice work
