Thanks everyone, yea it didn't turn out half bad.  I just spent a little more money on making this one look nice compared to what i normally spend on a cbg plus it took me almost twice as long to make.

I know i'll be doing another in the future but for now back to 3-4 stringer.

Not alot of problems just took twice to three times as long to make.  Getting all the interior wood correct heights, correct area to place things, lot more measuring, tons more then a normal cbg, adding the neck was way different than a 3-4 string cbg then comes the cost.   I wanted it to look much nicer so I paid a little more for the plate, tailpiece, pickup, heads, etc.  Want it all to be gold color to match, etc so more money went into making it.
