Thanks Ken. That's awesome. M~

Thanks, Congrats on the new guitar. Have fun. M~

Yeahhh.. And they always seem to call you right when your in the middle of something important LOL They are a PAIN.. M~

I did have a question about the guitar. Is it one you built? I have a three string CBG with piezo pickup and it picks up my clumsiness in that every time my hand clank of slide across it, the sound is emphasized. Now, as I approach age 78 I am fighting against arthritis in my hands so got this guitar (never played in my life) to try to learn and in so doing keep my fingers and thumbs more flexible. So far so good, as the two trigger fingers which were "starting" at least are not bothering me now. But some of the melodies I am trying to learn would be far easier to play ( my hands don't stretch well and I have a lifetime of hard use on them now) on four strings instead of three strings. Also, I think a humbucker or flat wound pickup (I honestly don't know the difference among the choices yet) might be the answer. I am not afraid to tackle building something. The street rod I use for my avatar I pretty much scratch built including my own chassis for raw materials, so I am not thrown off by the idea of a CBG (that is not to say I could build a good one...!). If I decide to build, is there any advice you might offer about choice of pickup, choice of 3 or 4 string, choice of strings (does anyone use flat wound on a CBG or is that just on bass?) and guidance on building the fretboard (or just buy it from Gitty?). Thanks. A little guidance would be appreciate, but maybe this is not the forum for that? If not, let me know. Thanks!

Sometime I hit the low G string as a bass note,without thinking. That may be it. M~

Thanks Tex, Ive been hearing that people can't find that Vox Mini 5 any where. That's weird. That Vox with the built in looper sounds pretty cool. M~

Thanks for checking it out, must have been those boots she was wearing lol

Thanks for checking it out Mr. B. :)

Thank you Chris, If you have a pickup, and your playing mostly with an amp, sound holes may be more decorative. Go a head, annoy those neighbors. :) Stay safe M~

Thank you, Peter. I know it was on the Metal setting, but not sure the exact selection. I will display them in future videos. M~

Thank you,

Thank you Greenhorn. Yes, it was on the beat lol

Thank you, my friend. M~

Southern Fire Guitars I also drive a Ram pick up and have received the same call 🤔 hmm

@@tumbleweed4213 that's weird, and every call is from a different area code hummm.

Hi frogman, I place mine under the pan or paint can lid right under the bridge. M~

I appreciate that, P-M. Thank you. You have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year as well, my friend. M~

@@SouthernFireGuitars wooov :-) Thank YOU to....friend from long away ;-) See you some other time bro Hand shakes and knots from here :-) .

@@p-mlin.1117 Thanks

@@SouthernFireGuitars :-) hellow friend :-) Can i make you a question, now we have an " open line " hehehe :-() . Do you build CBG Guitars ???? IF, you are, what's are all this about a Humbucker pickup / microphone..is it the best for a CBG ??? My english are not perfect, but your good attitude surely can figure out of,what i try to mean ..big smile :-() Most friendly from here . P-M.

@@p-mlin.1117 Yes, I do build them. You can see them here--->> www.southernfireguitars.com/ A humbucker pickup is a magnetic pickup like in a regular electric guitar would have.

Thanks Turnin. M~

It's all about the FUN my friend. M~

They are bronze wound .040 .030 .022

LOL Thanks Tim. that is cool. 😎

That's a great song. M~

Hi Traceur 2k, I'm using .040 .030 .022. M~

@@SouthernFireGuitars those were what I was going to choose but were worried they would be too thin, thanks for the reassurance and keep up the awesome playing and tutorials. Thanks again

Thank you, Captain. I get most of my strings in bulk packs, but, you can use a 6 string pack like that, sure. M~

@@SouthernFireGuitars But you didn't answer my question: Gage wise, are these the three heaviest strings from a pack of guitar strings (or the middle three)? I'm getting a huge amount of info from these videos btw (on my 3rd cbg now).

@@captaingrub2228 The string gauges are 040 030 022. I buy them in bulk 12 of each string in a pack. Thanks for watching the videos. M~

@@SouthernFireGuitars I see. So my two guesses were inaccurate. Cheers! intend to buy a guitar from you by the way. You should see my new one, it's a tiki-themed CBG. That's what I do. I'm a tiki-style chainsaw artist from Cape Cod and one of your new followers. Thank you.

@@captaingrub2228 That would be great. That tiki-style chainsaw carving is pretty cool. M~

Hey Harry, Yes, I do sell them. I do have a few available right now, you can see them here www.etsy.com/shop/SouthernFireGuitars

Hi Toralf, That's great, building your own CBG. I got my 23'' scale template online from www.cbgitty.com/

Thanks Doodles, Yes , she's fine. Thanks for asking. M~

I buy them in bulk packs from CBGitty. Nickle wound 040 030 022

Don't know off hand. Try CBGitty.com or Google it

Hi Paul. I'm using 040 030 022. M~
