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.

I'm on it!

It sounds as good as it looks :) Little bugger has some sustain to it.

Thanks buddy

Nice, Bubby!  I have 3 cigar boxes ready for me to make, as well.  It'll be a first.  I even have a few parts gathered.  Can't wait to get started, finally.

An acoustic is pretty easy to build Matt, total work time on this pretty lady was about 4hrs tops, I was short a string🙄
