This would have to be a cheap and easy one for the factory. A 3 or 4 string cigar box with a single pick up.

Hi Dedman, most the parts for a CBG are cheap and readily available online so doubt Adam would order in CBG kits.
That's where my guitar building started and love the sound of them !
i make my own they are real easy
Tony what do you use for the necks ? I was using a length of 40 x 30mm jarrah
Hardwood/ Tassie Oak
sounds good Tony, got any photos of any of your CBG's handy please?
Got one in a million bits ready to go together as soon as i get 5 mins, i make them out of biscuit tins mainly although i do have a good supply of cigar boxs. I tend to give them away to mates because they gather dust.
Been into a section of the shed all men fear to tread, and heres where its at, i dont get time anymore.

looks cool Tony, I know the feeling when you get spare time to work on other projects !
so is that bracing you put all around the edges of the biscuit tin to support the neck ?
An experiment because without it the whole thing is too light and has no mass, thats just what i had on hand, i will do some thinner stuff. The neck itself goes all the way through and out the back and its a 3 string.Quote:
