Uncle John commented on Richard Persike's photo

"Thanks for the info. I've had good luck with both CB Gitty and MGB, but have not been building much for the last two - three years. I have an electric six neck on hand... Fender style. I prefer one like you have here. …"

My first CBG

"Thanks! The custom printed box is from CBG. The neck is from MGB and is a great, bolt on neck ($80) but a lot of what they sell is cheap Chinese crap and their customer service stinks."

Uncle John commented on Richard Persike's photo

My first CBG

"Is that neck from CB Gitty? I have some notion of doing a six this year."
