At 1:34pm on January 27, 2012, Salvatore J. Ferrise said…: This is my first attempt to build a CBG. I hope that they only get better. I see that you have built a few. Very Nice ones, too. My big problem right now is learning to play it. I have never played a guitar so I really don't have a clue on how to learn. I see you are from Akron, could I impose on you for some guidance?

If you are in the market for a quality CBG, he is definitely one of the better builders to consider in your selection. Enjoy, Keni Lee

Roughin' up stuff i put a lot of work into is not my strong point. Everyone seems to like what i do, and digs my designs, but ya wanna know the secret, a lot of planning and getting proportions right so everything kinda flows and looks (right) together.

At 10:05am on March 14, 2011, Jon Grinder said…: I saw the slots with a standard miter saw and box, and use a round file to open them up a bit. Then, I superglue 1/8" brass brazing rod, cut to length, in as frets. Works like a charm, for me.

One day, amybe I'll actually use fret wire, etc. But, for now, I am trying to stay more "home built" than d "hand crafted", if you know what I mean.

At 3:53am on March 12, 2011, Uncle John said…: Thanks, that might happen. I put it on a 'possibles' list for an open mike night on the 19th. Will see if I can do it and 'Today I Stared Lovin' You Again' for a 2 song set. :)

At 3:32am on March 12, 2011, Uncle John said…: Gees, I listened to the Hank III songs on your page. They are new to me, but I like em'. Sure souds like ol Hank 1.

At 3:27am on March 12, 2011, Uncle John said…: Hi Jefferson,

Just listened to your video. Good! And I liked your long & short builds. Now I come on your page and hear a great Merle song that I used to do and had forgotten about. Wonderful. Glad to have you for a nation friend.
