My first 6-string build, with a Washburn neck, Fender ashtray bridge and humbucking pickup. Done for a friend, who supplied the box-- this is a fantastic box, by the way.

I know it's not a CBG but it is a homemade 6 string guitar and can be seen here:

How do you folks go about selling your CBG's. What kind of venue do you recommend, and conversely not recommend. I have built 2 CBG's and was able to sell the first one. The second one I am having a little difficulty. Now working on my third build, and have one commission on the bench to follow it. Who ever said that this was addicting, was not kidding around. I want to build more and more and more, eventually branching out to other types of CBG's.

Thanks in advance.

Six stringer #5...build #59. This one has a hand made figured maple neck w/ truss rod. Rosewood fingerboard, 21 frets, walnut in the headstock, rosewood truss rod cover plate & tailpiece. Adjustable/floating walnut bridge. Mini humbucker w/ volume & tone controls. Corona cigar box with hand painted top depicting a Scottish Thistle...banner reads "Nemo me impune lacessit"...roughly translates to "No one may harm me without penalty".

Hi Mal,

I hope you are well :0)

This one is a 13" box and a 7" cone.

The strat neck has a predetermined scale and the cone centre needs to be 4.5" from the tail.  This means your neck will have very little overhang with the box so you will be needing a through box support to screw the neck to.  Regarding bracing for mine I opted for a 2 layer body (as I haven't access to a router with 2 layers I can make a neck pocket with my scroll saw)

I also use hinges x2 at the top and hinges x2 plus tailpiece at the bottom to help brace the top/bottom sides of the box.

Good luck with the build - the Lowe cones are brilliant to work with.

Regards,

David
