Amazing Grace on new Punch box CBG - Acoustic

Tuning is GDG. This is my newest CBG build with a tall bridge, slightly angled neck, bone nut and saddle, 22 frets. I set this up so it can be a 4 stringer if I want to go that way sometime later. The neck is extra stout formed by gluing two 1x2 red oak and laminating a maple fingerboard on top. The neck has no taper for width but has a nice radius on the back and gets thinner toward the head. Full 2x2 dimension at the box an closer to 1x2 at the head. Very comfortable to hold and play.

Thanks! The action on this guitar is far too low for slide and just a light touch is required.

Very nice.  I like slides and use them some.  But it's pleasing to just use the fingers God gave us.

Thanks everyone.

James, I think this is my 12th guitar build now.  I still have designs for another dozen it will take me a couple years to build.
