The Cigar Box Guitar Builder Podcast

I was scanning Facebook this morning and came upon a post about building a CBG neck with an integrated fretboard. Here is the post (name withheld) "Question for the brains trust I normally make my necks from a piece of timber with another thin piece with pre rounded edge glued to the top as a fret board. My question is, is it really necessary our can I simply round off the single piece then cut in and fit frets." What a great question. I had some thoughts about ways to do it and where you can see videos about it to help if you have the same question. Here is Del doing what he does best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdnUk7CvMag The incredible Mike Snowden at 13:34 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDrCtp7c118&list=WL&index=29 Check out CBGs AUS here https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1GTSMAVqop/ You can see what I'm up to at www.birdwoodguitars.com Order KILLER STRINGS at Australia - www.killerstringsaustralia.com USA - www.killerstrings.com Thanks to all who are supporting the podcast and The CBG Builder Group https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1LQ5ffdhw3/ See you next time Adam.

Firstly, a HUGE apology for the lack of podcasts over the last month. We have had video content via You Tube and Facebook but things got quite hectic with chasing down the bogus group members. This week Joe and I discuss building primal style CBGs, the new FB group called 'The Aussie CBG builder swap' and building plastic model kits. A HUGE thank you to all those people who are continuing to support the audio podcast. It's something I started in 2016 and I am having a ball working with Darren, Joe and Jesse to bring you a steady flow of CBG info and interview great builders.
