John: The rod photo you are using looks a lot like the orange pearlescent ride (Uncertain T) my friend Steve Scott built back in the early '60s. Could it be the same, but a different color?
Welcome aboard, John! You will find lots of helpful folks and information here on all things CBG (CBU, CBB, etc.) Feel free to poke around, ask questions, and post your stuff (photos, recordings, videos, etc.).
