Oak neck is a floorboard from a house built in the '30's, the walnut came from one of the original trees planted by John Bidwell in Chico, maple purpleheart fretboard with purpleheart dowels I made . All gold furniture and solid bar pickup. Volume knob is from a beer made in Weed calif, I managed to get the sticker off the bottle and it is on the back

CBGs figure heavily in my music rotation these days.  A few years back someone here posted a link to them playing a uke or something on Youtube.  It was a great little clip and I enjoyed it nicely, but failed to close Youtube....and gthe next video was Samantha Fish on a CBG playing/singing "Shake Em On Down".  In this case, the Fish hooked ME!

I'd love to see you or someone else slide-neckin' this thing, brother!  Looks like it has some heart and soul of it's own.

JW, are you familiar with Seasick Steve?  Check out some of his live shows on youtube.  He plays a CBG and several other interesting instruments.
