1st CBG

1st CBG. Found sammick 6-string neck with a bone nut mounted to a hunk of mohagany that extends through the body. A stoptail bridge mounted on the end of the guitar to hold the strings, the strings go over a couple of tremolo claws to avoid them digging into the wood. A found piece of aluminum as a bridge. There is a soapbar pickup under the top between the sound holes. 1 volume and 1 output jack.Overall, I'm pretty happy with the 1st attempt. It took about 4 hours on a Sunday afternoon and sounds good acoustically and really wonderfully nasty when plugged in with some overdrive.

  • @Andy --- I did put slight grooves in the bridge with a nut file.

     

    @Josh --- LOL!  Yeah, 24 frets.  I found it at a flea market years ago and never did anything with it.  When I stumbled across the box at a yard sale, everything just clicked, and the madness began.
