I broke the blade off a shovel recently and was going to toss the whole thing out, but I realized that the handle is actually a pretty nice piece of wood and would make an interesting CBG neck.
This is more of a woodworking question, but: If I wanted

It's not allowing me to like videos and I can't edit videos after I upload them (the edit menu has disappeared). Also, whenever I post a comment, it refreshes the whole page instead of just adding the comment like it used to. And I'm seeing a large n

Hi all, so I finally at the third attempt managed to build a 'guitar' that works.
It's a four string 2x4 lap steel. I bought some D'Addario EXL145 Nickel Wound 12-54 strings and following the E-B-E-B tuning set it up, first E obviously being the 54 s

Is this a viable pup design for a homemade pup from a transformer coil? It's supposed to be a cbg 3/4 string rail single coil.

Read more…multi-piece fretboard--bad idea?
Rooting through my scaps, I've come across some that I'd like to cut and use for a fret-board. They are thick enough (or will be as soon as I resaw them), but they aren't long enough. As I seen it, I have two options:

Made one with piezo, and was completely underwhelmed. Not ready to blame the piezo, but maybe. I think could have been other issues too. So,….

Per my previous post about stomp boxes, I (as usual) fixate and then proceed without having a clue as to what I am doing.
I've watched a few vids, about both speaker-driven stomp boxes as well as making pups out of small transformer coils. Haven't div
Which kind of fret wire?
I looked around this forum, but honestly, not real hard. But I'm wanting to build my first CBG and when I went to CBGitty and looked at fret wire, I'm not sure which kind I need to buy. I'm just wanting to build a simple 3 string CBG. Any guide here
