Do you have one to Shane ?
Hi Shane, I just wanted to reach out and say hi and thanks for all the energy you put into the CBG movment. I'm working on my 3rd build and recently got a copy of poor mans guitars. Found the Portland cowboy very interesting because I'm a native portlander.Also , I grew up across the street from general Grant High, my older siblings went there, and what a trip that the school song was on that Portland cowboy guitar. Any way I'm a fan of your videos , hope someday to meet you in person. Take care and God Bless.
When might there be another build contest, do you have one in mind for the future?
The cry's from ol over the Nation, GET WELL Soon ! like you hear you can't be mist ! STRENGHT to you and your Famely ! you can beat this ! Shane !
Good Lace Pickup review in Guitar World. Damn! I may have to try one of those things.
It was a pleasure for me to see your real face...

thanks man...
Good choices for instrument of the day. Some good stuff getting built.

My last paragraph was clipped.
Since CBG style guitars can play pretty much any style music, maybe our CBG festivals should be summits that focus on equipping builders and players to infiltrate all the other music festivals out there with CBG mojo!
