My question is straight forward for any of you that do market places or shows to sell your guitars. How many guitars do you bring with you to do a show? Thanks for all who answer.Continue

Here is a short clip of my daughter's guitar teacher playing. Since I am a very very beginner player I though that he would do it more justice than I. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cE0ToBQW-uE
Here's a video of mine in action.

Sorry about the mix up Loco. And Greg I am in Oromocto just past Fredericton and I do have a New Brunswick plate up for trade if your interested.
Thanks Greg,
Unfortunately It was my first one so I don't have any build pictures but I am going to start another one soon and will post some pics along the build. As for the sound I will try posting a video.

Whereabouts in NB are you from? I may be going to Moncton in the next week or two... Got any extra Maritime plates for sale or trade?
Hi Loco,
I found a local cigar store that will sell me their empties for $4, so I bought a bunch back before Christmas. My first build I didn't have access to boxes so I built my own box with baltic birch plywood and it turned out well enough that I wanted to make another. I bought the tuners, fret wire and pickups from CBGitty, pretty much everything else came from Home Depot. More recently I found some great deals on DX.com for pickups and tuners, but their shipping delays are very significant. CB Gitty ships at a very affordable rate and supports the hobby so I try to buy from them when I can.
I also have a Lee Valley hardware warehouse about a half-mile from my house and will be upgrading my tools as I go. Next purchase will probably be a proper fretting saw.
I also have a Stewart Macdonald campfire mandolin kit awaiting my attention, when I think I am ready for it...
New guy here.
Been building CBGs since fall 2011, now have eight finished instruments to my credit, and another three in the works.I've also built cajon drums and stomp boxes. It's highly addictive trying to find the best combination of available raw materials, tools and techniques to make these things.
