Hi all! I have lurked too long. After building many CBGs and reading alot of posts of I finally signed up. I usually don't sign up for online communities so that was a big step. the vibe here is good so i am glad to be on board. I submitted a blog post with my latest work in progress and a link to a recording I did with the first three CBGs that I built. Not sure if the blog area is the right place here to post stuff but...anyhow i am a newbie :) I will update the profile pic soon.

I retired from the Marine Corps in 1969 after 22 years. I served in Korea and Vietnam. After retiring from the Marine Corps I moved to Miami, FL and worked for the Post Office for 7 months and then got a job with State Farm Insurance Companies as a Auto Estimator. I work in Miami for 2 1/2 years then I move to Gainesville, FL and work there for 6 years and again move, this time to Phoenix, AZ were I worked for 10 1/2 years and took early retirement after 19 years with them. I travel in a motor home for 2 years in the summer. I then planed to move back to FL. but moved to Abilene, TX where my daughter was with her husband who was in the U.S.A.F. I started making CBG last year and plan to try and design some a little different than the ones you see on line.

Hi! My name is Constantine Caviris. I am 21 years old and live in NY. My musical taste is a little of everything and everything country. Especially country music with a heavy blues influence. I've built two CBG's and am really falling in love with this art. I also write my own songs on my youtube page: http://www.youtube.com/psychotic33089
Glad to be meeting ya'll.

Heya, I live in Arizona. I got interested in CBGs after I saw the makezine article a couple weeks ago, at the time I had a fender acoustic that needed repairs, but I ended up takin the tuning keys for my first two CBGs. The first is actually still in progress, playable but I still need to put the piezo in it and build the amp for it. It's pretty rough of course, made it with a Punch boz I picked up at a local smoke shop. The neck is oak and I actually fretted it with the rails of a couple lengths of model train track, they work great and the weathered copper look suits it. The second box I made is again an oak neck but I used a java box and it's much nicer lookin then the first lol. With luck they'll keep lookin better as I go. I actually have no real guitar experience but Shane's videos made it fun, if not sound good.

Hello all, my name is Chris and I am living in between Atlanta and Athens Georgia in a small corner called Winder. I have one build since I found this site two weeks ago, and plans boxes and necks for plenty more. Would have shared sooner but my approval seemed to take a minute, will post pics later. Thanks to everyone here for all that I have learned so far, some fine work going on around these parts.

Johnny from N.C. Iowa making my first post here at the C.B.N. and I'm interested in vibrating strings, metal, wood and speakers. Working on my first guitar projects, 60's Kay archtop- neck and bridge replacement, and a SBC-nice wood Silverware Box Guitar to be fitted with Kraftsman neck and piezo. Next is 3-stringer. All to be run through an old modded Dukane tube amp with DIY piezo buffer. Ding Ding Ding it's on.
