Welcome, SkillBilly!

myspace.com/SkillBillyGuitars.
My name is T-Bone and I started making CBG's and various other stringed instruments as a hobby and things just kind of took off. I'm a 41 y.o. retired professional musician and I live in the Mechanicsburg, PA area. I work construction and I'm a cook.
This site has introduced me to many skilled builders. The shared info is priceless. I have seen so many great ideas and innovations. The Nation has been very inspirational to my creative addictions. By far the best site I've ever visited.

I have started a CBN group entitled, "How to Play CBG" It is my hope and intention to encourage the "Wealth of Talent" here on the Nation to share their knowledge and skill to further the CBG movement. Please consider contributing an instructional "video" link to this group. If you are a viewer seeking instruction, please feel free to write. If you have any suggestions or know other players who you think may want to post instructional "video" links, please contact me. Thank you for your interest and support, Keni Lee

Does the can mounted on the end of that cbg increase the volume? The twisted cane two string is rad! I bet that turns some heads when played. Thanx fer freindin me, see ya 'round th nation.

I dig your walking stick builds...I need to break out into something new like that. I'm looking into moving to the philly area, need a job though.
