Look for a revamp soon. I need to add a neck/heal extension. Measured the neck for a 24” scale, then used a 25.5” scale fingerboard. This left the saddle riding the edge of the box. You could say this a silent CBG. I will recover, and it will sing…
Love that vintage and authentic look. Glad you did not cut sound holes in the top. I would have been tempted to do so. Looks good without top sound holes and that old cedar tends to splinte when cut.

Thanks for the comments guys. A couple mistakes I need to recover from, but nothing outside the rule book. She will sing when finished
There is something to be said for straight ahead clean lines with repurposed materials. Sharp looking CBG Jerry!
