CBG Build #3 - Mock Up.

Sneak preview for The Nation....! This one is waiting in the wings for when I've finished my current 3 string 'San Cristobal Revelation' fret-less build, which is progressing nicely. I may fit a single coil but most of the other details are in place. Inlays will be black mother of pearl with a star on the head stock.The f-holes are just card templates laid on the box to get a feel for style, size and position. I've made a few other styles in various sizes....I find they are handy to play around with before committing to cutting them out of the wood.

    Thanks guys, glad you approve! Can't wait to hear what that lovely reso cone sounds like, hand made by Ragtime Ritchie here in the UK. After this one, build number four will be something very different and promises to be a bit of a challenge.....hope I can pull it off, we'll see....!
