Just finished my second build, CBG No 2. Its a 4 string open G tuned guitar. Fitted a P90 pickup which sounds great. The neck is one side of a Bunk Bed ladder that I picked out of the trash, its a nice piece of teak!.

Thanks" Uncle John". I was actually visiting someone who sells guitar parts from his house and as I waited outside a guy was fishing about in a trash can and pulled out the ladder. He tried to break it but failed (much to my relief) and as he hobbled off I grabbed it. The other side is ready for CBG No 3. I hooked the guitar up to my CBG Amp and used the high gain setting and it would certainly wake the Dead! Taking it for its first gig tomorrow. Should be fun.

Now what songs should it do? Lullabyes? Stairway to Heaven? Bedwetter Blues? We are climbing Jacob's Ladder? Maybe not. Looks most suited to rock.
Great looking guitar and I especially like what the neck used to be.
