Howdy, from Eagle Island, Idaho

Hello folks. I'm Charlie in Eagle Idaho.  I've been a long time lurker, short time builder, (3) and no time musician.  I'm still leaqrning to play, so won't post any vid's. Don't want to drive anyone away.  A friend at work introduced me to CBG's, and I've really been hooked.  I built one for myself, one for a friend and am working on the third.  I've been lurking on the Nation for almost a year now for the Tech. help and how-to-play vid's.  I want to thank you all right here for all the great help.  Keep up the great stuff!

Cheers, Charlie

    Hi Charlie, welcome to group therapy for your new addiction. Your guitars look amazing. There's tons of instructional videos here and on YouTube. You'll be playing in no time.

    Hi Charlie, nice looking builds. Welcome to the addiction, er, Nation. It's just like the hot rodding hobby. Ya can't really quit. Been into things automotive since the mid '50s as a spectator and built my first drag racer in '62. Still at it today, but the CBGs are a great hobby for when the car projects are waiting on parts and money.

    Really nice builds Charlie!

    I especially like the hidden res cone and the re-purposed Delta 88 emblem.

    Player or not, you really should at least post a sound test/sample! I'd like to hear those!

      Thanks for the kind words.  I'm very low-tech here and don't have any vid equipment. I'll see if I can get someone to record and help me get some sound bits posted.  I just got out of the hot rod hobby, too expensive, so my guitars will have some sort of car theme.  The one I'm working on now will be a resonator using a Rambler hub cap and a "Rebel" fender script.  I'm scrounging around for "Terraplane" stuff for another build.

      Thanks again,

      Charlie

      Cool theme, I'm a hardcore "car guy." And motorcycles. And guitars. And banjos. And fiddles. And.... (Well you get the idea!)

      Rebel script might take some looking, but I bet its out there. Terraplane though...... I suspect might be a tough search!

      Sounds fun!
