Hey, Shaun in MOBILE.  can't wait to get my first build done so I can start playing the 3 string thing.  A budy of mine and I gather on the week ends in Wilmer to play music.  If you are interested in coming out give me a shout.  251-421-3314.

Very nice axe. Can't wait to see #3.

Well, I finally got Bama Jelley CBG#2 pretty much complete. It looks better than the first and sounds better too. Already working on #3. I hope to improve a little bit each time. Now if I could only learn to play worth a crap. At least now I got something to practice on.

Attention all Alabama CBG Builders - Birmingham Area -

 

Got Wood? I got tons of high quality Hardwood flooring. Most of it is 3/4 in thick and various widths and species. Great for making CBG necks. I have enough to share. If anyone is interested, just let me know and we can arrange a time for you to drop by my garage in hoover AL and pick some out. It is free of charge to a good home. That is all; carry on.

Looks really good Alex.  I finished my first build in May...got the bug too.  Thanks for posting!
Comment by Alex Scott on May 25, 2011 at 3:01pm

Hey, I just recently caught the CBG bug, haha. I just finished my first CBG build and couldn't have done it without the help of all the tutorials on this site.

 

Here's a picture of my Perdomo 3-string...

 

 

 

It's a little rough, I know, but I kinda rushed into it a bit. Just thought I'd share it a bit. I'm currently planning my next build as well. This CBG craze has really caught hold of me, haha.
