Who's up for building instruments and wants to put them in "real players hands" and is willing to ship them to the first player at your cost? It works like a chain letter ... You send your build to a friend and he produces a video ... He then sends that build to a friend and "he produces a video and sends it to his his next friend that produces a video. So on .... And so on. But the owner has the right to say ... "Send it back home at any time. This would create some really good PR for builders as well as players.
I have a 3 string pie tin/cake pan tenor with dual pickups that can be played slide only, and willing to just take the leap and send it anywhere. Who's on board with me? Lets get some great builds into some "great hands"!
I would love to have some great builds reach some "great players"!!!!

I also have a 3 string'r that's ready to ship anywhere (traditional 3 string CBG) great sounding little CBG!

Pretty cool idea Chris.  It would be fun to watch a guitar travel around and hear what different folks can do with the same instrument.  I've never shipped one - about how much does it cost to ship a CBG?

Yeah Turtle ... Around $25 here in the States. I sold one that went to some kind'a island in Australia that went through 9 ports of entry and took a little over month to get there for $269 (customer paid).
The first and initial shipment - maybe $25 ... ??? But just think of the exposure. And all the fun everyone will have! Would anyone out there pay $25 to play someone else's guitar - and pass it on???

First, I have three builds from Chris and they're top notch (actually owe you a video for the rat rod build).

I really like the idea.

Very cool idea ,round is the world ,so brother let her travel...

That's "WAY COOL" Catfish ... Thanks!
