  • This CBG was build from a TABAK box (sanded and stained) and a choice piece of Walnut (not mahogany) was selected for the neck. The fretboard is also Walnut…Gold tuners, Gold humbucker, pick up selector switch, volume control knob and string catch shutter hinge. The position markers are burned in and there are nails for the topside. This instrument turned out really really nice 😊

    Random thoughts: beautiful neck,
    You are the Ace of hearts,
    The guitar has two eyes and you are YY (too wise),
    This reminds me of the Tabak box I got from you, except mine still has the label on top.
    Take care, I hope all is well.

    Nice build. I love the dark rich look of walnut! It also has a very distinct smell when you work with it. Interesting finding with the"mistake" with the neck/heal junction. I may try that. Thanks! Love my new "6 strings r ..." t-shirt. I doubt many people will get it. 😅

    Idea....... Bolt a spoon handle to the tail piece for a tremolo handle. I saw someone use that idea on a lap steel guitar as a "bender"... I made a lap steel and did it too. It worked great.

    Ahhh... Mr. Pucket, as usual, an excellent build. Well done sir. As for your whammy bar lever... might I suggest a small spoon? A spoon of the appropriate size could be cut to a suitable length and attached (spot welded or soldered) to a small piece of flat stock with matching holes for the strings. String tension would hold the lever in place. By using string tension, the lever could be installed or removed as desired.

    Great Job on that build. Looks and sounds great!!! Just a commit to future builders. Tuning is E3 B3 E4 don't do like I did and try to tune to the wrong Octave. Strings break.

      You have a super day. Remember you start out with 10 fingers that’s what you’re supposed to stop with.

    Dale , the scale you showed has a very interesting sound but the notes are on the frets # 1-4-5-6 -7-10-12 like you said or 1-4-5-7-8-10-12 like you played ?

    Make sure you take care working with walnut. You can have quite an allergic reaction and you can build up a sensitivity. Make sure you wear a dust mask when sanding for your own safety. I didn't and can no longer work walnut.
