Bama Jelley CBG#2 - "rough cuts". This CBG is made from a very nice oliva box ($1), a piece of hardwood flooring (Ipe or "Brazilian Walnut" for the neck (about $2 - I bought an odd lot box) and old tuning machines purchased from the scrap box at a local music store ($5 per). The bridge and nut were made from a salvaged heavy oak stair tread I found in a dumpster, but I will probably be changing these for something else or modifying them as the action is a bit to high for my taste. The fret wire was purchased from a local instrument repair shop ($6). I asked the guy for medium but I think it is more like large or jumbo. Will be adding a piezo soon.
