CBG's 020 to 022


CBG 020: Once again I used another Perdomo box (the rounded body gives it a nice feel) for this CBG. It has a Tassie Oak neck and fret board, 18 frets and a piezo pickup.




CBG 021: I used another Romeo & Julieta box for this CBG. These boxes seem to be the most readily available at my local tobacconist. Maybe it is a good all round cigar that people enjoy. Anyway, it has a Tassie Oak neck and fret board, 18 frets and a piezo pickup.




022 was another resonator (cone from Mike Lowe of the US) CBG. It has a Camphor Laurel body (milled from our back yard about 8 – 9 years ago), Tassie Oak neck and printed markers on the fret board. This guitar sounds great either as an acoustic or an electric CBG (a single coil pickup) and I have really enjoyed making these. A different cone was used and the sound is a cross between a dobro and a banjo.
