Finally...my first CBG`s are finished.
hi all. It`s been a busy couple of months making these bad boys. So much fun and a steep learning curve. Many things I would do differently. Looking forward to the next two...have orders for them already. My son saw them and definitely wants one and also a mate wants one. Addictive little tackers. I`m going to have to learn to play a bit now. Might just slide up and down the fret board a bit.... Anyway here are a few pics of them. cheers
BTW.....the first pic shows.....
1..top one.....cedar top, coachwood sides, camphor laurel back, blackwood neck, rosewood f/b.
2..middle one...kauri pine top, coachwood sides, camphor laurel back, blackwood neck, rosewood f/b.
3..bottom one..an actual cigar box, blackwood neck, rosewood f/b.DSCF6575.jpgDSCF6601.jpgDSCF6607.jpg, Graeme

Graeme,
They look pretty good.
Nice to see you have taken the trouble to make a decent neck with angled headstock. Better than most of the strait sticks mostly used on CBGs. As you say it is a learning curve but each one will be better than the last.
I have found that home built boxes usually have better sound than actual cigar boxes. How have you found things with those three. The punters however usually want the look of a propper cigar box.
Keep up the good work.
Regards
John

Do they have pickups or are they acoustic?Cliff.
If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

thanks John. Looking forward to the next build as I have learned heaps doing these three.
thanks Sebastiaan.
thanks Cliff. They have piezo pickups (thin discs) under the soundboard just near the bridge and forward a tad.
