This is my first attempt to build a CBG, and I call it Cigarra!I had to made the box by myself out of some pieces of Imbuia, a tree found here in Brazil. It has a neck made from Marfim wood, 4 strings (currently D-G-B-d), humbucker+piezo with a 2 pole switch, main vol and tone. Sorry for the bad pics...

Thanks Bruce! I still have to check the piezo´s position inside the box. I tried encasing it with two pieces of a mouse pad and glueing with hot glue on the portion of the neck inside the box, but I lost a lot of volume, so I need to check it again. Is it better glueing the piezo on the lid? Encase it with pieces of wood? Any ideas???

Very nice first build, and I wouldn't worry to much about needing to build your own box....
