<p>Why not? When you pile together new techniques, it can just be more fun. This is not rocket science we're talking about here, it's building CBG's! If it fails a bit, you can always fix it.</p>

<p>One step ahead of you - I'm actually building it out in a 3D modeling program that I've been wanting to learn anyway! Figure I can potentially catch some problems before I run into them for real.</p>

<p>Hi Sean, all sounds good to me. Draw it out first to see how things will line up, saves a lot of back tracking later. That's what I do on a new build. Taff</p>

<p>Nice selection of bits and pieces.</p>
<p>1. Mahogany is a great wood to work with. It smells amazingly nice when sawed.</p>
<p>2. Don't worry too much about the string height with the hard tail. It can be adjusted up or down a fair amount. It that is not enough, you could build a thin platform to raise things.</p>

<p>Go for it...........</p>
