    Nice work, they have a very vintage look to them, are those paper covered box's with the labels removed?

    The prototype is amped up using the electronics out of an old microphone, 4 stringer top screwed down at the mo in case I got something wrong, all parts scavenged same with wood for all these CBG's Prototype western red cedar with silky oak neck, hard to get actual boxes where I am so I made all the boxes 

    The other three batch produced as xmas gifts one has a teak neck and the box is western red cedar with surian cedar top the other two are western red cedar with a merbu neck and a unidentifiable off cut for the fourth neck. the production run uses pick ups and machine heads from ebay.

    Was great fun learning to get these together now for lessons from my bros will have to wait to xmas day as I cannot let them have them till then !!!
