Semi-shameless sales pitch. I have too many cbgs. I am reducing the number and keeping some special ones in various categories, such as fancy, relic, canjo, license plate, guitars with parts gifted from friends, etc.I want this guitar to go to a nation friend who will play it. It is too good a player to be a wall hanger. The seller can later sell it to another player. I am too lazy and ignorant to ship outside the U.S. Lower 48. Sorry if that excludes you.$135.00 + $15.00 shipping.Description: 25.5 inch scale. Vintage Corina box- a gift from Justin Johnson and Nikki. Justin had input into design. His input included a tin reso – which I later excluded from this build – the box was not large enough for a good match.Oak neck – strong. Walnut fretboard. Good tuners. Gitty jack/strap post combo. Walnut saddle too close to the end of the box. With this small box, it may have been better to go shorter scale.Piezo- a larger one. Black fake leather under the neck on the box where I cut out too much box! Looks okay. My Indian name is Screws Up Plenty.Finish: good- not excellent.Acoustic sound: Very good. Plugged in sound: Very good. Loud, warm - Some piezos will give you unwanted sound as your hand goes up and down the neck. This one does so minimally.Playability: finger chording or picking both excellent. For slide, the action (string height) will be too low for some folks. Works fine for me.Strung with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th string from a six string set. As is, tuned either DGB or Cgc. Plays great both ways. I will tune it as the buyer desires and or include extra strings if requested.Other: the box opens. Signed inside by me. Never used to paddle a kayak. I have not played this on in the crapper. Never used for Justin Bieber songs. Never played by Bug, Clock, or Wes Carl.
