My second build.
This is the second CBG I've built. Used red oak from a big box store for the neck. (It's what I can find and afford). Wired in a humbucker and a parallel wired pair of piezo disks to aftermarket tele-style controls. I call it "Old School".

Thank you, and yes, I am hooked.
You went on a building spree didn't you? Looks like another member is hooked.
Those are great looking gits.
My third one
My second one
My first 6er. Neck was hand carved out of cherry then stained, fretboard, bridge and pickup ring were made out of the same board.
Sweet looking six stringer. Bet it sounds great!
this is one I built for a fried a few months ago. I have 2 more in the works now. I was my first six.
1st post the the 6 string group and first build,kept it simple, low cost parts. 25.,5 scale , turned out pretty good,. I'm happy with it, my biggest concern was when the neck arrived and i put a straight on it, it was very low at first fret. finally got the truss rod to loosen up and that fixed it , next issue was exactly where to anchor done the bridge. I loosened the bridge adjusters and put it at 25.5 , , but had t move it back another 1/8 to set intonation right, measured my strat from last fret to the front of the bridge and it's at 6/ 3;4 . i 'll go with that on the next one. last issue was deciding how low to recess the neck joint. ,i cut it so the end of fret board sits on top of the box.. next time i'll leave at least another 1/8 to 3/16ths,. i got the string height right close to the dime/nickel rule I found on the site. I decided to stop messing with before something went wrong. fun to play, sounds good and is super light compared to my strat. plan on making more
