Just finished my latest CBG. This is a solid body (filled with mahogany - incredible sustain) 4 stringer tuned GDGB. The neck is hard maple finished in black lacquer with a real ebony fretboard, fully bound with red purfling and ebony binding. Scale is 24 -3/4". Singl coil pickup with concealed poles. The V & T knobs will be changed out after I make ones with a pewter scorpion inlay. Hope you like it!

Sorry, forgot to mention the strings. They are DR Neon Reds, http://www.drstrings.com/#!neon-red/c1ziu. Gauges in set are 10, 13, 17, 26, 36, 46. I used middle 4 for open G tuning. They are available in lots of different colors. Besides the "cool" aspect, they really sound great and bends and pull-offs are sweet!
That's a REAL NICE CBG. The first one I ever made was Black and Red too. I love the combination. Are those Aurora strings? The scorpion on the body is fabulous. GREAT JOB!!!

Can't give you a ten. Nobody gets a ten. 9.99999999879.
Hal, you did a good job telling us about it except those strings. They interest me. What is their story?
