<p>Hey thanks for the nice comments guy,s. It's taken a while. But it has always been a back runner to family, motorcycles, instrument repairs and "going bush". It's been a lifelong hobby.</p>
<p>Now im retired I devote more time to the serious side of guitar building, after, family, instrument repairs and motorcycles. Cbg's come when I can fit them in, or I need a break. Looks like the order has changed.</p>

<p>Awesome builds Taff. The idea that someone as talented as you takes the time to make CBGs is totally cool. </p>
<p>Don't tink I didn't see that Paul Craig. You tone wooded me. Oh Ya??? Well tone wood to you too. : ) </p>
<p>And speaking of tone. Didn't Gitty or Shane do a wood to paper cigar box bodied guitar sound comparison some time ago? With both of them sounding equally as good. Not sure what section of the forum it was in. Kinda thinking either the Cigar box Nation News or Featured…</p>

<p>It's apparent that Taff has spent a long time over some years building all types of guitars.</p>
<p>The term Master Builder comes to mind from some of the examples I've seen.</p>

Especially when one can appreciate the time, effort, research and frustrations that go into early builds, and later builds for that matter.

<p>For all those UK builders out there, I’ve found a great source of PAR 2mm oak at a good width for cbgs. Either ask me for details, or you could google 2mm hardwood, like I did...</p>

<p>Great work!</p>
<p>Oak is highly underrated as a tone wood, as are ash and birch. I sometimes like to get conspiracy minded and decide that the only reason such cheaper woods are given lesser status in the guitar world is because the profit margin is low.</p>
<p>Why spend $30 on oak, when you can spend $650 on Bolivian Rosewood?</p>
<p>Just curious, do you use a bending iron for your sides, or do you have a Fox-style bender?</p>
