Phil stopped by to pick up his new instrument! He took my class at the college last fall. Since then I installed a pickup in the CBG he built, made him a Flathead Diddley Bow for slide guitar, and now this guitar style dulcimer. He loves the look and sound of it. I truly enjoyed watching him play it.

Thanks Uncle John! The good news is that Phil travels in different circles that I do, so it will be interesting to see what happens.
I agree wholeheartedly Kale! And I got a call from Phil yesterday; a buddy of his wants one too, so I have work to do. A good problem to have.
Looking good!
This is what it's about Doug. Exposing others to the magic of CBGs.
You are very welcome, Doug. Thanks for the inside story. Very resourceful, especially when it came to recycling the neck. At least in some areas, nothing goes to waste!
Thanks Jonathan! The build came out better than I expected. I recycled a neck from a lefty guitar I parted out. The Alder looked great and I thought it would save me some time, I was wrong about saving time, but not about the Alder. I chose the Olivia box because the coloring was pretty close.
Very much a lucky guy. Priceless. that's all i can say.
I agree BrianQ! I was envious myself as I have not built one of these before. Phil has been broadening my building horizons.
Lucky guy!!
