I've built about 20 CBG's, not from kits though. These kits use a pizeo disc pickup that can be really thin sound and will pick up every little sound. It helps if they're "potted" in hot glue and positioned where they won't be as thin sounding. For my newer builds, I switched to using either P90's or flat humbuckers to get a better sound. I also use a compressor to improve the sound, most recently a UA 1176 pedal.
bought one of these cheap, will probanly muck around with it and change a few things. if anything it will get me into cbg instead of just having unbuilt parts sitting aeound.
@@ethanhusak I'm absolutely interested in that - would you like to share more background with us. - the other thing is: who was able to get his hand on it - and there are all the others - putting all they had together - to make some music in a poor and hard context to get some hours of relief - to feel human in one or annother way. That's my understandig of the Blues - would appreciate verry much to hear some opinion about that.

That makes sense. I assumed it was something along those lines but I'm not too knowledgeable about acoustic pickups. Thanks for the info!

Love it
Thanks!

That was my thought as well
It couldn't be crap, cause it's even better than the things they had in the - not good but hard old times.
They had some good acoustics and resonators back in the day!
