Does the distance between a pickup and strings have any effect on sound?
Read more…I read something where a builder said they glued their box shut (to enhance sustain), what's your opinion on that. Seems to me you could be creating a future problem if you have elect.
Read more…I've got a couple of boxes, but would love to hear some ideas re: what to build, 4 or 6 string and what scale length. Keep in mind I'm a beginner.

That's a great Idea for the fret board but there is a guy in the UK that sells a water slide decal for about $13.00 USD on Ebay. The decal is 23" x 2 3/8". It goes along with his plans for a Danelectro 6 string steel guitar.

I just made a lap steel and I am waiting for this decal to arrive. I'll post a picture of it when it is finished.
Back in 1998 I did a poetry tour of Texas, and did readings in Dallas, Temple, Austin and San Antonio. I also brought in some Cuban cigars from just around the corner from where I live (in Brisbane, capital of Qld).

I have started a CBN group entitled, "How to Play CBG" It is my hope and intention to encourage the "Wealth of Talent" here on the Nation to share their knowledge and skill to further the CBG movement. Please consider contributing an instructional "video" link to this group. If you are a viewer seeking instruction, please feel free to write. If you have any suggestions or know other players who you think may want to post instructional "video" links, please contact me. Thank you for your interest and support, Keni Lee
I got the end piece on eBay along with the bridge and saddle (I'll send you an email with the link). It's for a 4 string tenor guitar. I don't know what kind of metal it is, but it's just stamped into the shape (it's not a nice cast piece). It was originally about 5" long, but I cut & bent it to fit my box. I then polished it by hand to a brighter finish using "Mothers Incredible Billet Metal Polish." I've used this stuff in the past to polish an aluminum chassis plate for a tube preamp to a near mirror finish (after many hours of sanding using successively finer and finer grits).
