thank you very much. was just looking about for correct info. you didn't give me the "answer" but you explained it so well i was able to get the correct answer for my question

So informative thank you 🙏

*like*

Good points John For an electric CBG (when you don't care about the acoustics) with a surface-mount pickup, is it okay to NOT recess the top surface of the neck between the fret and the bridge? I'm going to attach the neck to the top of the cigar box. Should I glue the top neck surface to the bottom surface of the cigar box top?

That guitar is mine now it’s great,I gig with it a lot and highly recorecommend johns guitars

What key are you in Chicken bone John.

Yessir Mr Chickenbone! Thanks for the great lesson

How can I buy the cutaway cigar box guitar 3 string on your video playing just got paid.

Most excellent. Thanx for sharing. You have earned your place in Heaven!

Interesting. Could the string ferrules be mounted into the rear face of the neck instead of into the rear face of the body? Then the strings would not pass through the space below the neck inside the body. And for hinged cigar boxes, you could flip open the back when the strings are strung. (Am I correct about this last one?)

Hey CBJohn ! Whereabouts are you located? James Hargreaves layed out an approach to master the blues for 6 strings. ua-cam.com/video/C8EAAVxvB4A/v-deo.html Is it possible to adjust his approach for 3 strings? If so, how?

UPDATE: I just finished building my Treble/Bass CBG. Made it a 4-string. It sounds absolutely amazingly cool! Thanks John.

Hey CJ, Is your bridge held in place only by the tension of the strings? Can you move it around? Would you move it to: Adjust the tone? Adjust the action? For a good position to rest your hand?

Great. Would be there. Thx lot for this Movie.

How do I get on this?

Sent email john but not heard anything , to be honest I ain't to great with pasting pictures formats etc ,but it's edinburgh mark .bout kneck compatability with four boxes I got .cheers

Lots going on - very nice. I’ve been thinking about making a case myself. Love to see how you build yours out or even just a more detailed tour of one. All the best from Canada.

G'day Chickenbone John, I've been following you for a few years now. I love your work.

Hi John. I noticed your leveler is 400mm long do you have any plans for supplying 200 & 600mm ones.

Do you have any books?

Thanks for the video John. I got confused at 44 seconds when you said there was just a red and black wire as I could see a grey one. I put my glasses on and realised it was a shadow.

What about making a video where your installing a truss rod in the neck of one of them cool old Stella guitars you have, by routing a channel in the neck after steaming and hot knifing the fretboard off, ..or better yet, just leaving the fretboad on and going in thru the Back of the neck and routing a channel for the truss rod, and then covering the routed channel by gluing in a bit of hardwood for the Skunkstripe, and then routing a little access route into the front face of the paddle so it can be adjusted at the headstock, ..? 🙏🌌🔥🛐

What would happen if you plugged a vocal mic into where your supposed to plug in the guitar and sang thru it fully overdriven, ..?

I've got a Harmony Stella, any ideas as to what Year it was Made? * says "Steel Reinforced" on the not Slotted style Headstock, (..no star) *Spray on type, vertical tigar striped body *Rounded on the end of the fretboard closest to the soundhole * Perloid Dot Inlays, not painted on ones * non V style neck * Metal tailpiece, floating bridge *Numbers inside the guitar read: 4480H929 Any help would be Fantastic! Thank You!✌️🦝🔥🌌

Son House was a great player very u Dee appreciated

Awesome ❤

Excellent explanation. Thank you.

love your lesson ,building a box now

Excelente idea! gracias por compartir!

On of my first HVAC jobs was in a shop that was old as dirt. They still used screwdrivers to remove and set screws. At the time I thought I was so smart and quick with my drill. I didn't realize until later that I was the one exhausted and without peace at the end of the day.

Nice video and tutorial ! I have a question , I bought some jumbo frets with .6 mm tang and .95 mm including the barbs , which fret slot saw thickness shoud I get ? Will a .6 mm be fine or should I go .57 mm ? Thanks for your help Mr John !

Helpful video, thanks!

Wow…..great woodworking skills….!

Thank you I have a fretboard coming that is pre-cut..a little wider then my neck.. Did know how trip it.. Thanks for taking your time and posting this

Very good my friend .

As for me, I think the slightly "muted" sound of his fretless gitty sounds super cool and it makes me wonder what some effects pedals might be like with it. Afterall, what are we CBG builders best known for? Defying convention!

Great vid, you made that look so easy

No rules friend thank you

Thank you for the video! I'm new to the CBG, and I really enjoy listening to, and playing, the blues style you hear on these guitars.

At 11:20, I think the natural tendency is to cut deeper on the near side anytime you are doing a job. This video helped me tons. Thanks for the input.

My tweed is larger than my brown one.

Cool thanks

Hey John, just finished a "Double Three" and took it down to our local guitar store. The guys can't believe the amazing sound!

Where does one acquire a rasp such as yours?
