"San Cristobal" CBG. My wife saw the box in my parts box and said, "That one's MINE." So here's her CBG. 3-string, All acoustic, fret marks on the side of the neck. White thing is a cabinet handle for carrying.

In retrospect, wood handle would have been nice. I had the white one in my parts-box, though, and I thought it played off of the white background of the box.
Neck extends about three inches into the body and is glued and bolted onto a 1x2 that goes through the body. Tailstock is fastened to this by glue and a woodscrew. The scale is short - only 22 inches - so I think I can get away with the, soft, poplar rather than my usual maple or oak.

Poplar should be good then, I thought maybe it was pine. Good looking git. Makes me wish for a test play.

Thanks for the comments.
I would give it a high mark for looks and construction - but that know worries me. Is there a heel glued up beneath it?
Love that head stock angle.
