hi stuart, hows it going? hope you are well. good job on the texas guitar. go and give those damn folkies what for! looks great. Cheers for the comment on my guitar. Of course it is tuned to a banjo. What other tunings are there? (What I mean is 'other tunings worth using')
have a good christmas mate.
Great stuff! Looks awesome mate :o) Sounds pretty damn good too - did you add soundholes? Im also intrigued.... did you manage to get the bridge in exactly the same place? I wonder if your 'duff notes' maybe wernt duff at all, maybe the intonation is just out a bit?? Anyway, top notch job on the build and the playing and the singing 11/10 :o)
Excellent news mate!! Any pics of the finished piece?? Its great when they just sell themselves like that - and the mrs cant complain coz your hobby is paying for itself!! :o) Good work!
thats very generous dude (re telephone mic)-Redshaw has actually made me one and is shipping it down south this week, so it'd be a bit greedy of me to have 2-mind you,thats not a rule I've ever applied to cbgs! lol
Hey man, thats quick work!! Looking forward to seeing the pics :o)
Great weekend then yep! Well ready for a good nights kip, then right back in the shed to start building again!
Great to meet you mate - hopefully it wont be too long until the next one!
And great job on the singing too! Il back you next time!!

haaaaaaaaaaaa what good is a barbie lunch box if you cant play a tune on it and keep yer lunch in it.i say its a good idea. make a one stringer with it cause they are the foundation of 2,3,4,and 5 stringers. my d-bow one stringer is growing fast.those are easy to build.i built two the other night and today i,m building three more.i will put up pics today of the three i,m building as we speak. i got the neck established in one right now,and fixing to drill the holes in the neck fer the second one,but had to come online to leave feedback fer some mini-toggle switches i just got in the mail from e-bay. thanks fer your contact,and if there is any way i can help you to do anything with this cbg endeavor dont hesitate to drop me a note with questions and such. later man take care and have a great day.
nice looking chickenbone guit you got there on yer profile photo. i,m not from britian but i highly respect you guys there,i talk with ben and ju ju quite regular,and i just wanted to say hello from the bairfoot cajun.nice fer you to be here at the cigarbox guitar nation. hope you find lots of things that hold yer interest fairly well. have a good day.
£4.99 post free leads jack the lot all you gotta do is glue and drill. I just tried it in a stomp box worked well and out of interest bluetacked to my CBG and iwas suprised how well it sounded a little on the bassy side but i like that . So if anyone is looking for cheap piezo's he is worth a look
Thanks for your comments man - I do what I can! The headstock was a learning curve for me too mate. I tried the 'thin one end off on the circular saw' method with limited results, so now I angle them - its one cut with the saw, and to be honest the way I do it it doesnt even need the offcut glueing on the underside - though I do for asthetics. Anything you need a hand with, just ask!
