  • 2011 friend request - I guess I haven't been on here in a while...

  • Ugh! Sorry about how messy that last post was. I'm still trying to figure out how to use all of this! lol

  • Hey Mungo... I just read where you wrote...

    "Michael;

     I chased after these things for a while, then ended up buying something like this:

    In the end it was easy and cost about right, however if you are bound and determined to learn about electronics this will not do it, basically a hook it up to a speaker, add a box and some knobs and you are done like dinner.

                     Cheers Ron."

    Is there any chance you can post a picture of how you wired them up into a CigarBoxAmp? I've been having trouble getting one made, and if this helps, I think I'm going to go this route. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

  • thank you sir for your comment about the tri-cone sound check vid--yes i search for different tones and usually find them.so the sound is what i look for in a progress build.
  • The possibilities are endless.

    EAD tune DAD

    ADg tune GDg

    Dgb tune Df#a

    gbe tune gbd

    How do you want to tune is the question? Enjoy, Keni Lee 

  • Mungo Park, thanks for the friend invite. The neck is finished with pure Tung Oil. Hand rubbed five coats.
  • Thank you for your purchases. Please feel free to contact me if any questions arise as you work through the lessons. Enjoy.
  • Hey Ron

    It's all about the enjoyment of making it..I find.

    I have access to a nice workshop too and have friends with lathes so can do some very rudimentary metal work . Hence the bit of brass as the bridge.

    Look forward to seeing / hearing your output soon

    All the best

  • Thank you Ron for your interest and support. The auctions recently ended. They are relisted now.

  • Thank you Ron for your interest. Do you know I currently offer, free 4 string CBG lessons here on my group? If you would like to get a better understanding, I would suggest CD 1 and CD 2. Although they are geared for a 6 string, you will quickly see how it is the application of open tuning that makes it easy to alter these lessons from Open D 6 string (DADf#ad) to 4 string (Df#ad) on CD 1 and complimenting the free lessons nicely from Open G 6 string (DGDgbd) to 4 string (Dgbd) on CD 2. The strings on the guitar are the same, you just change the tuning. In addition, if you build a 6 string CBG someday, you will be good to go too. Please feel free to write if you have further questions. Enjoy, Keni Lee
