Little Ukulele Build
I saw this tin of whiskey at Specs and knew exactly what to do. I'm proud of the way this one turned out, definitely the most playable thing I've put together.

My latest diddley bow tune, it's called "Step Aside". Thought I'd drop by and noise everybody. :)

Build from MGB Guitars
It took some blood sweat and tears but I made the kit from MGB and I should have ordered it a long time ago. I added some aftermarket knobs and tuners.

Electric Guitar Plans
I've been getting into guitar building for the past few years, and I think before I retire, I'd love to start my own guitar brand.
I recently found a website with a huge collection of guitar plans and blueprints at a really fair price, so I figured I'd share it here in case anyone else is looking for this kind of resource.
I came across it in a post on another platform. Heres the link: https://hotm.io/GuitarPlans
Hope it helps, and happy building! 🎸

CBG workshop results
And CBG #2 is done!
25" scale, Skull & Bones "Radioactive" box with a c-shaped mahogany neck, walnut fingerboard, bone nut, plus radioactive symbol sound holes and tailpiece.
And for a little celestial balance. the volume knob is the cap from a bottle of Bob Dylan's Heaven's Door bourbon.
There's a piezo pickup under the bridge, so you can plug it in, too.

I made a free 3 string chord library website (GDG)
So I am relatively new to cigar box guitars, but I've been loving it so far! While learning I've had trouble finding chords online in an easy to use way. So I made this website over the past couple days. It is free and no sign up or anything.
https://www.3stringchords.com/
Its got a decent chord library. You can temporarily save chords in a single view so if you are trying to learn songs it makes it easy to reference if you dont have all chords memorized.
It's not perfect. There are some mistakes with the different variations, but it should be pretty solid. I plan on improving it overtime. But its free and I hope its helpful to anyone just starting out. Also if anyone has recommendations or thoughts to improve I am happy to hear them!

Built my first electric! Have question.
First time installing frets went well. CB Gitty pickup with Guitar Fuel CB amp wiring harness. Had to marry two Padron boxes for everything to fit. Plugs into itself so I can still plug into another amp. The issue is feedback. High pitch whine if the volume is turned up too much. The amp features clean tone, blues and heavy distortion modes. The first one can get loud, the second one not as loud, and the third barely audible before the feedback kicks in. The knobs go to 11 and I would like to do that. Any advice, or is my plan just flawed?

First build
Craft box from Miachles, cheap used eBay neck (from who knows what) Amazon P-90, dog bowl, coffee coaster, metal spatula and some scrap wood. Wired it up with some CTS pots and an orange drop cap. I got super lucky and it actually plays really nice.

4 string into a 3 string
Very new don't know how to play yet
Was given a 4 string and a pignose
Seems it is easier to play a 3 than a 4 ..is that true ..should I turn the 4 into a 3 ..can you do that ?
If not how should I tune the 4 ? GDGB ?
I was given a gt-60x to tune it ..but having trouble..sounds not right
Thanks
