License plate CBG

I need your help guys. Got a nice license plate and want to build a CBG. Has the license plate the function of a resonator or is it simply a deco element? How is the accoustic sound quality compared to a normal wooden box made CBG and is there something specific to consider when i mount the plate? Thanks in advance for helping .... Greats from Austria Rob

  • Rob,

    This was an LPG of sorts. Actually a wall tin instead of a license plate, but check out the link to hear the sound that came from it. The metal plate will definately give you a diffeent sound.

    Build a box to fit your plate and go from there. You won't be dissapointed.

    • This is how i will go. All my CBG are sliders, because i like the sound and to play slide. I know that there is no limitation, but however, whats your opinion: what kind of build is favourable for what style of playing?
      If i take a guitar first time, then always a certain style of music comes out of me. If it sounds soft - Blues pick is the one, is it more harsh and twangy - Rag is the sound that i like to play.
      • I'm finding the same sort of thing. Each CGB I've made has had a diffferent sound and I try and learn songs that fit that guitar's sound.
