Thank you KaptnKen for your comment. I am sorry for putting tempation in your path. ebay is definitely a double edge sword. Items you thought you would never find...purchasing things you really don't need. You gotta take the good with the bad. Enjoy???

Yep, and part of the fun was going to Harbor Freight Tools to pick out a couple of planes and a little jewelers hammer for fretting. I'm taking my time with fitting the neck-through (is that a term?) to the box. I don't have too much experience with fine fitting wood like that. But, it's going well... used a box I didn't care too much about, so I'll probably start a second one after this one with a nicer box. Photos to come...

Have a restful Labor Day!

Hey KaptnKen, I enjoyed our conversation at the fest in York last week. You gave me some good advice about diving right in without overthinking my first build. I started yesterday and it's starting to come together... slow but sure...

Well Ken - whilst my children who know everything may disagree, I beleive there aint no substitute for experience. Enjoy the day my friend. Sure the weathers fine in Virginia but its a Bit cold here in UK ! (this is our summer)

Hey there Kaptn! ...the piece I used for the bridge is a Turnbuckle - Saddle bolt. It comes with an eyebolt and a hook. Also found ones without the dip or "saddle", gonna try one of those next. Hope all is well.

Hey Kaptn, I forgot the name of the bolt I used for the bridge but I'll be goin' back to get another one soon...I'll let ya know!

Hey KaptnKen, that is a great idea with the pivot. If you don't mind, I will try it on mine. You are the roll making the CBGs. Keep up the great work.

Hey KaptnKen, Very nice first build, great job. What are you using on the tailpiece to keep the strings from cutting the wood? I tried brass gromlets, it bent them when I tightened the strings.

Welcome aboard, Keng! You will find lots of helpful folks and information here on all things CBG (CBU, CBB, etc.) Feel free to poke around, ask questions, and post your stuff (photos, recordings, videos, etc.).

Most of all, have fun!
