thanks, the green one was my first real cbg (first was a teabox). Unfortunatly I had some problems with fretting so there are a lot of dead frets on this one (the only one actually). Have to file them still but it's not going to be very nice, so I think this one I keep myself.

thanks all.

i will trim them ofcourse, but I have to finish the necks (I have to spray outside and the wind is blowing too hard the last couple of days), but I was too curious how they would play (and they sound not bad at all). it's not very clear on the picture but the green one is painted blue/green with chalk paint and the green is sanded so the blue is shining through....

Original and nice.  Especially Mr. Green on the left.  But trim those strings!
