FirstCBG1

Hi everyone !!!sorry for my delay on the CBG project,i'm almost done with my first one but still waiting for the tuning pegs to show up after almost two week of waiting and also buy a camel bone on ebay for the bridge and nuts, so for now i have two sound hole and a older pickup that i've got from a old but ship guitar, though it look great but never heard it so hope it will sound good, and also got a full scale for the maple neck that i had to sharpen down to 1 5/8 cause of a mistake i made while working on it, so i might go for a 4 string still but i might try the 3 string aswell to see wich one would feel best for the neck, also since the box was so thin, i had to make it stronger so i glue maple piece of wood inside all around it to make it stronger, so the box inside is all maple and the neck aswell and will put a mahogany fretboard on it aswell to give it a nice finishing look !!!i will take picture of the inside and the finishing product when i got the pegs :DLater ,Patrick

  • Loll, i love the call maybe i should call it Bender !!!
    i'm making this first one for the kid of a friend of mine so hopefully he like Bender lolll
    first time i'm making one and last time i will put sound hole like this aswell :D
    also i'm working on an other neck then this one as it was to thine and bow :(
    learn a lot from mistake just like in real life !!!
    i did use this neck though to test a few thing, like a neck true with angle !!!
    looks like it is working well so far, got good action for picking and nice low action on the fingerboard even know i dont have a fingerboard :D the next neck i'm working on he's a full inch thick so i wont nee a fingerboard that way i think !!!
