Build 003

My third CBG and second fretted CBG. 24" scale with internal reverb spring. Sounds louder than my other ones. Progress and I love the Sound holes on the top and side. It really projects the sound nicely.

Uncle John, I have to agree, that's why I tried it on both of these fretted builds. It definitely boosts the volume for the player. I got the idea from my Peavey Composer Parlor Guitar. I think it also gives it a little fuller sound, too.

It looks good.  I think player's side sound holes improve the sound and experience for the player.
