My grandfather built dulcimers, fiddles, and mandolins I have these instruments of his from when he passed. I have been building my own traditional bows and playing guitar for about 25 years. So I had the desire to build an acoustic guitar then I found these CBG's and fell in love with their sound so I got all the materials together to build one. I have a ton of exotic wood from building bows so I am now in the process of building some CBG's and a dulcimer or two. I just thought I would share his love of the art.

Hello Lester! My father was my inspiration as well. He was a true craftsman, though he did not make musical instruments. Your dad's creations are beautiful. Treasure them.
My grandpa left me an instrument.
It fired .50 caliber lead slugs...
Ha ha I have those too..
awesome
Sorry some of these survived a house fire so they were damaged a little in the fire
I agree about the character but when he passed a few years ago I would have loved to been able to show you all how great they really were. He was an artist
Beautiful instruments, your grandfather did a good job. The case is really nice too.
Thank you he was very talented and patient lol
