Just the build I'd been looking for !

I have built a few 3 and 4 string CBGs . But, when I saw this, I had to have it ! I only took me an hour and a half to build . The only thing different was I changed to a lighter gauge string set, because I like to bend them strangs . Haha I have already recorded two song I have written with it . Here's an Itunes link if you want to listen : http://itunes.apple.com/album/id1771293495?ls=1&app=itunes . I keep this beside my chair all the time . It has become the guitar I use when I'm working on songs to write . Highly recommend !

After a consultation with Mike, I reverse engineered a modification I had made to the neck. Afterward the kit assembled exactly as designed (minus my mods) and sounds great! I used the bridge shim which allowed me to better adjust the action and intonation. And the distressed looks are really cool!
