Three string cbg...needed a fix...I had finished this cbg a while back, but there was a problem with electronics, or the cheap-o single coil pup. Took apart, tested, found out it was the pup, so I replaced it with a lipstick pup.This also has a dual piezo rig...the lipstick pup and piezos have their own output jack (not blended), and the vol/tone are for the lipstick pup.Glad that's all done.

The lipstick looks good Scott, I will build 5 or 10 gits without a hitch and then hit a git that will fight me all the way. Can't quite figure out why??? Maybe that's what keeps a guy sharp and on top of things :-/
Thanks gents...this one was frustrating...worked great when I first finished it in June...got it back from a display in a local art gallery, and the single pole was nothing but a loud hum. So it sat on shelf until today, couldn't take it any longer. Took 5 hours to take apart, test, re-assemble, find out it still didn't work, take apart again, re-do all electronics, replace pup, re-assemble. Frig...plays great now...just put her on Ebay a few minutes ago.
