Wow! This looks great. How is it tuned and what are the string gauges? Thanks for sharing. Enjoy.

This is awesome and beautiful. I can see yer piezoelectric under the bridge. Do you get better bass outside the box? What're you stringing this with? You have bridge cables on there!

I'm a Bass player, who naturally picked up on the 3 and 4 string CBGs. :-) My playing falls into some class in between bass and simple leads. I have been using heavy-gauge, flat-wound jazz guitar strings from Thomastik - the George Benson signature strings.
