@ Better Trees, the dulci-strummer in middle of pic is available and listed on Ebay. If you want it, I'll give a big discount on the shipping, since you're a CBN member.
In fact, the other two cbg's were built for a return customer who bought a different pair last year. But looks like she's unable to round up the cash for either. One on right is on Ebay too, the one on left, I may keep.
haven't compared...done both styles (top load/thru-body). My sustain level is more likely from using a semi-solid maple core in the box for attaching the bolt-on necks...plus I use threaded brass inserts for bolting on the necks

That strum stick is soooo elegant looking. Want to make me one?
on average I get around 15 secs of sustain before sound fades
