Brilliant as ever John. I've just finished putting together one of you very complete kits. Superb, thank you.
I watched every video in the "Making a CBG series" and I'm ready to go for it. Thanks for the inspiration. I plan on order an number of parts from your site. Keep on keeping on!
hi, i wish i had discovered this series of videos sooner. Then my first CBG would certainly have been better. So I have to build the next one as soon as possible. Thank you for the valuable information.
Thanks for a great tutorial series. My first CB guitar is taking shape... having fun making it too, a great way to relax after a working day!
Hey there,
I just watched the series and just want to thank You - this Guitar is so sick, I love it!
I think, I have to check Your shop.
cheers, Arnd
best series on youtube by far
Good Evening,
For various reasons I have been in all day and unable to go into my workshop.
So with lots of cups of coffee and several sandwiches I decided to spend the researching CBGB'S on the net.
The most profitable day ever. I could not work out where the bridge sat, do not laugh, most of the others assume that it is so obvious that you know.
This has got to be the best one I have watched ever
Thank you, thank you, so much
Regards
Chris
Amazing thanks very much great stuff John 👏👍👌🇬🇧🎸🎶🎶🎶🎸👉😎
Greetings and blessings from Australia 🇦🇺. Great series. Thanks 🙏
Thank you John for putting together this Cigar box guitar tutorial! I have applied this to my builds and had great success! Regards Steve Copeland
Thanks for a great series ! Realy enjoyed watching and picked up lots of great tips . I haven't done my own wiring yet , only little repair job on a secound hand mag that was already wired , i now know why i was finding it difficult , i wasn't tinning first! But anyway thanks again for your efforts and congratulations on a reay great series of videos.
Thanks Chickenbone John, I really enjoyed the course.. Learnt a lot . Cheers Russell
Very nice tutorials John well done...
Thanks John, Just finished one of your latest kits, turned out well I think...... just need to learn how to play it now.
Fantastic series CBJ. Tons of great tips and explainations of "why". Use of the pop rivets is brilliant. As a long time woodworker I've wanted to make a couple of guitars for my sons but the full luthier acoustic body is beyond my patience. My prototype CBG is nearly done and I've learned a lot, thanks to you. Now I'm thinking I need to learn how to play the darn thing. Can a 63 year old do this? :)
You certainly can - I'm 66!!
@@ChickenboneJohn Yeah but it's quite obvious you're not a beginner. I'm starting from scratch! Good hobby for a retiree.

I would love one of these CBGs 😎😎😎👍🏻
thanks so much for this so very helpful thanks for taking the time !!
We just hope this helps people out there. We can't keep this all to ourselves!
Your whole series has been great. There is obviously more than one way to skin a cat, but in general I make my guitars pretty much the same way as you. One big difference was right at the end when you wound the strings, you turned the tuners the opposite way than any guitar I have ever played. Also I set the moveable bridge so that the intonation is correct at the 12th fret and then again at the second fret. If the nut is too high then the intonation will be high at the A. Thanks for all your posts and especially the song tutorials. You Gotta Move and In the Pines are great. (Sentinel Guitars - Bozeman Montana).
Hi, yes, mounting the tuners like that to get a straight string pull on a parallel neck means that two of the tuners work in reverse pattern, but it works. Between our own guitars and those people have built at our workshops, that's well over 4000 guitars built like that, and no tuning problems reported!
Thank you John
This video collection is extremely valuable and precious.
This video in particular is one of your best!!!
Couple of questions: would you round the fingerboard on CBG for playability and/or different look?
On fretless guitars, have you ever tried a metal fingerboard?
Cheers!
Paolo
We usually just take the sharp edges off the fretboard, but don't put much of a roundover on it -we spend a lot of time rounding over the fret ends to ensure a smooth feel. We've only ever used wooden fretboards - I don't like the idea of having to use an epoxy glue to glue on a metal fretboard and really don't think there's much if any benefit to a metal fretboard, but I'm sure people will tell me otherwise!

Hey John, how many baseball caps do you actually own?
I few, but I own lot more tee shirts! That one came from Pink Dragon rockabilly store, Cat Street in Tokyo
How much is that guitar
Do you get a slid with it
