This is build #12 of my CBG journey. This is a Brickhouse box with a poplar neck and angled (scarf joint) headstock. I did not add a fretboard to this one as I wanted to try something different. 23" scale length using Jescar nickel silver Jumbo wire as a nut and 23 frets using Jescar nickel silver medium/medium wire. I used a 1/4" oak dowel as the fret dot inlays but I think I need to use a smaller diameter material to make it look a little proportionate. I used a set of the black open gear economy tuners that I bought from CB Gitty a year or so ago. They work really well and look great. I used a piece of 3/8" square dowel for the bridge with a piece of Jescar nickel silver Jumbo wire. The tailpiece is a silver door striker plate. I did add a 1/4" back angle to this one to give it decent height at the bridge but also lower action in the lower half of the fretboard. I added a CB Gitty piezo disc at the 23" scale mark which runs straight to the mono output. Overall it sounds and plays really great. It feels and plays really solid and will make a great little 3-stringer for someone to either learn on or have a jam session with!
