    Those engravings are so beautiful! It's truly amazing to see what one man can do with a collection of high-tech power tools...

    That has to be one of the best if not the best looking CBG I have ever seen. The laser engraving is beautiful.

      John Trotto If you don’t mind me asking how much and what brand is the laser engraver? Knowing my luck they won’t be available in Australia.

      John Trotto Anything from China on eBay will ship anything to anywhere so that’s good news for me. I will search for one tonight. Thanks heaps for taking the time to not only read my comments but also taking the time to answer them. Yeah I always wear eye and ear protection. Thanks for all your help mate, much appreciated.

      Thanks. Hope you are ok with me using the design, pretty sure I found it on some random google image searching.
      Guitar was made for my personal use, not for sale.

      @@JohnTrottoCreations No problem. I have no complaints. I am also very interested in CB guitars. I watched the video and saw my drawing. This is very inspiring. Unfortunately, RUclips deleted my previous comment, where I provided a link to the rest of my musical drawings. I think your guitar will bring you a lot of joy. Best wishes!

    It was hard not to press the strings to the fretboard at first, but now I'm getting it, after my first build, I'm for sure building two string Diddley next!...I put snare wires inside, sounds plugged in!

      The notched out neck is a very good idea. I will adopt your method for my next project, but maybe use a corner brace for the body-neck connection. Thanks for the vid

    very nice build... i mainly clicked on this really hoping you hadn't used a laser engraver... personally, i don't like the look of laser engraving on CBGs in the same way that some people think digital music lacks warmth... no offense, but it has a mass produced look to me which kind of goes against the homespun nature of the CBG thing in general... just my opinion

      @@JohnTrottoCreations i bet it has wonderful potential for various applications... you know, back in the day peter max did something really innovative with the relatively new art of screen printing in that he mixed colors right on the screen... i think the whole revolution cnc tech needs that kind of out of the box thinking to come into play... in other words, i look forward to the day when people are using these things in different than intended ways instead of letting the machine just do a tedious job for us...
