My first Crow style CBG - a stick ON a box.

Fun and quick fretless build. Plays and sounds pretty good. The piezo is a little harsh. Maybe I can figure out the optimal amp settings and tame that harshness. 2 hours or so build time.Video demo posted.

    Without a doubt the Uncle Crow style CBG becomes accessible to anyone with a drill. How cool is that! Great example Uncle John of showing us how it’s done!!!

    Cool, quick, fun and especially with a pickup you've got all the tone you need. Good work Unc! I like the neck grain too. -Glenn

    It is, Patrick.  I have quite a few repairs and improvements on my list and then I think maybe I will make a lap dulcimer.

    I like it! Fun build and I bet it's fun to play too, great porch pickin' git!

    Thanks, Bob. There used to be a guy on here called Crow that built extra simple sticks on boxes CBGs. I think he was a proponent of having a drill and not much else and being able to put together a playable instrument.

    Neat job Unc J, simple and effective. My limited knowledge has been increased... Crow Style.
