Looking around guitar gear on the web I came across a mini travel guitar + gigbag case. That set off a lightbulb as I realized that a CBG is roughly the same size as these travel guitars. Anyone use this option for their CBG?

Came across a video regarding a CBG where the builder talked about how it had a treble bleed circuit to maintain the treble whether the volume pot was at 1 or 10. Never knew about this phenomenon so I did a little research. My question is do many bui
