Thanks for adding me to your lineup.  I'm new to making guitars, but am pretty enthusiastic.  I've made six so far, the seventh is nearing completion.

Here's my first CBG, made using a pretty big box, a CB Gitty fretted walnut neck, Piezo rod under the bridge, pizio pots under the license plate.  I really learned a lot with this build
