My first effort

Posted by Steve Ireland on January 9, 2011 at 12:21pm in Building Secrets, Tips, Advice, Discussion
Here's a link to my Facebook CBG build album. Compared with the guitars on this site, mine is a pile of crap but I had fun building it. Serious feedback problems unfortunately (transducer PUP stuck to underside of the lid) and tuning is a bit of an issue but it's good fun to play. Anyhow: http://ning.it/fCT4XB

    Hammers rule! For chiselling and for taking out frustration on various inanimate objects.

    Nice job Steve, I really like that you got a hammer in most of the pics, Havent used a hammer yet to build one, but would like to use it on some when they are done, lol.

    Cheers Henry - I'll try that when I get a chance.

    Regarding your first build, it looks like you have a winner there, mate. Try encasing your piezo pick up (?) between to thin pieces of wood or fold a piece of foam around it before mounting it. Some have even tried encasing their piezos with a glob of hot glue. CHEERS!
