Not quite a cbg, 'cause I could not find a box big enough, so I made it myself in plywood, with teak veneer on top and bottom, & on headstock as well. Wood for the neck comes from the dump, so I can't tell what kind of wood it can be...rosewood fingeboard & bridge, bone nut, MOP markers, homemade aluminium tailpiece, Kluson tuners. 'Dynasonic' like mini humbucker & 42 mm piezo under the bridge. Pickguard, pick up cover and fake truss rod cover are made from a partagas box

Thanks for the comments !
It was the second time I used aluminium for the tailpiece, because it's so easy to work, and till now it seems to be strong enough to stay in tune !
I like it too. I noticed that you left your FB up a bit higher allowing for a taller bridge. On mine,
I started off with that idea, but because I made the FB flush with the top for some reason at the last
minute, I had to cut down the bridge a bit..still works, but the next one will not have that problem.
I like your aluminum TP idea. I bought some scrap aluminum as well and was going to make one,
but decided to recycle an old 6 sting trapieze tp..which is thicker.
You got some good ideas in it.
