Hi All, I thought I would have a go at a resonator CBG. I have built full size Dobro style and solid body resonator guitars, but this is my first CBG using a dog bowl as a resonator. The next one will use a proper cone. The box in this CBG is again made out of fence palings from around my yard. It has a Piezo pickup system with volume and tone controls. Can you find the Volume pot/control?
I'm playing with bridges looking for a suitable sound, as you can see the biscuit type bridge is on it at the moment and I'm slowly modifying it.
Any way enjoy Taff.

I found that the best sound I got from my dog bowl came from balancing a screw across two dice. Could be the solidness of the ceramic/plastic of the dice, the fact that it's quite light or the fact that the footprint of the two dice on the bowl is very small. If your still tinkering...
Hi Rooster, you asked about the tailpiece some time ago. Yesterday whilst browsing in a junk shop I found another one, so I thought I'd show it. I only got one unit out of the first one and then through the rest of the bits in the bin by mistake. I thought this one though better and in the end will end up with six tailpieces, with some modifications.
Cheers Taff
Me too, was just referring to you piezo setup. Started with 500k volume only with my piezo but changed to 1meg and got a much better sound. Was thinking of trying a passive tone circuit on the piezo.
Thinking of trying that setup on my semi-hollow 339 guitar. It has 2 piezo in parallel under the bridge wired to a 500k volume and it's really too harsh.
Either one works.
I found a setup here on the CBGNation that used 1meg volume with.0022 cap across the 2nd and 3rd pins and a 1meg tone with a .0022 cap.
Look's great. Like the Strat jack plate too. How well did your tone circuit work for the piezo and what did you use?
