<p>Where are you all getting your tuners from? I've been mostly getting them from china with mixed results. Some have been ok, some total junk and some haven't shown up at all. I don't mind paying a little extra if I know they are going to be decent. There must be a middle ground between $5-10 for garbage or $60 for "proper" gears. Any recommendations?</p>

Hey guys. I've just finished my 2nd build. I put a p90 in. Sounded great in the dry run before finishing. So a couple of issues now i have it all back together. I earthed the strings via the tail piece to the out jack and now when I touch the strings I get alot of amp noise. It's worse with the volumn down. The tone pot' s not working as well as it did in the dry run either. I tightened the pot's pretty tight. Could that be a problem, have I damaged them?, and what about the earthing?

Ok so im 3 strings and im gdg. Scale length 25.5". I'm using lite strings at the moment and I'm happy with the tension and sustain on the 2nd & 3rd, but the first string, tuned correctly, seems much looser and has got that buzz. I'm thinking a heavier gauge might fix the problem. Have I got this all wrong? I'd just like a bit more tension on the first string.

This guitar is my first CBG reso, although I have built full size Dobro and solid body Resonator guitars.</p>
<p>This is experimental as building is one thing, getting a good sound is another. I'm working on suitable bridge configurations at the moment.</p>
<p>It has a piezo pickup with tone and volume pots. The volume control is on the top and the tone is in the bottom side. The guitar is built out of wood [pine] fencing from around my yard.</p>
