Swap CBG for CBG

I am looking for some one who would swap a simple build 3 string CBG for another. This would be a builder to builder swap. I have over 60 builds under my belt and the latest builds have been fantastic from my point of view. By simple build I mean 3 string fretted with simple electronics. I will be posting a pic of the build I am putting up for swap. The reason I want to do this is to play a guitar built by someone other than myself.

The pics are just for an example of what I build.

If you would go for an acoustic trade, I'd be up for it, probably. We could meet up in Boston to trade or I'm in Morrisville, VT sometime in Feb. Boston is best if you can swing it.

I am looking for an electronic build but not that I would not go for an acoustic. I was thinking a thru the mail trade. I will probably let this ride for a bit but definitely it is of interest. Maybe I'll do a few trades I will let you know and thanks for the interest.

No prob. I like to play acoustic or choose my own electrics. I figured a meet up would be an easy swap since I'm in NY and you in NH. I'm in Boston a lot.

I'm not in any rush so let it ride and choose a swap that suits you best.

i wouldnt mind doing a swap. have a catbowl resonator without electronics and not fretted. fretmatkers are inlays of same birch as the top and bottom of the box.

to all that have replied to this post I am interested to swap CBGs w all. Slowpaw a lefty build is not a problem so if you are still interested let me know. Eric I am interested in a swap w you as as well so get back to me. Pascal I really need something fretted not that I couldn't do it myself but electronics are the least of my worries as I rarely play plugged in. So any other people interested give a shout.
