My first attempt to a three string CBG . I used a EDGE box , I don't think it is the best box to use as far as sound . It sounds a little different. Oak neck and fret board ,medium/high #0141 fretwire , 3/4" door pullers to dress the holes . The finish I sanded the box a little flipped the lid over and shillac the whole box with clear shillac with three coats .

Thanks Ronnie for looking , yeah the door pulls are cool , just a pain to cut the bottoms off ... Thanks again man and goodluck with it all ...
The Nations' Chapel tried to open a 12 step for CBG addiction, but no one's in denial... Everyone knows they are addicted and have absolutely no desire to be cured...

I just put the pull into a piece of thin wood so the bottom sticks through and sand the bottoms off on the belt sander. It works great but I wear gloves cause it can get pretty hot.

I use a hand belt sander clamped into my bench vise. I got the brass corners at the hardware store.
