Hey ya'll, just finished my first CBG build (after a slight diversion into a diddley bow). The neighbor kid showed up with a CBG his grandparents bought him for his b-day so I tuned it for him & set him down on youtube to watch some playing tutorials. After watching a Justin Johnson video with him I was in the garage the next night working up plans for a cigar box I had propping up bourbon bottles in my cave. I didn't find this place until after, but in the last week I've acquired 6 more boxes & a delivery of tuners from C.B.Gitty and CBN has already given me a ton of ideas & lots of advice I could've used last week. I've had a thing for strings for a long time and am excited combine it with my penchant for crafting things with my own hands and start adding my own builds to my ever growing collection of guitars, ukes, mandolins, dulcimers etc. 

CBGitty disk-o-tone piezo pickup

bottle opener tailpiece

machineheads I scored in a junk store turned out to have different length posts, so I adjusted fire with eyebolt tuners

finishing nail frets (once I'd gone with eyebolts I figured why not) & bourbon barrel stave neck brace

like I said, I had a mid-build diversion into diddley bows

But, next up is a lunchbox guitar project with my 3yo.
