Soul of a man

I love the sound of that.

I've been tuning on 4th and 5ths for pentatonic scales. It makes the notes really easy to find. Great for older folk music.

@Hikikomori013 Thanks!! Thats a good idea. Makes it alittle easier. Thanks for watching!

I'm using oak too, what's the thickness? I'm asking because I have to shave some of the neck (inside the box, so the lid kan vibrate freely), but I'm afraid I'll just be making a 'breaking point'... :(

BTW very well played sir :D

[lennypurnell]

@expendabolicious I think the top on that one is about 1/4 inch. The neck is glued right to the neck. Sometimes I sand them alittle more. Thanks for watching!!

[elpaparobert]

You Sir. Are incredible.

[lennypurnell]

@elpaparobert  You are too kind! Thanks for watching!!

[baconbag]

Like your cutout idea, I might have to steal it

[clubagogo]

that's very good lenny, now i fancy making a one ;-) can you tell me what sort of strings do you use and how is it tuned, thanks Ritchie

[lennypurnell]

@clubagogo Thanks! It's got DAddario acoustic lights. The tuning is cgcg. Making one is alot of fun.

[ThaTzone]

Very nice. Amazing what you can do with a shipping crate.

[lennypurnell]

Thanks!! Thanks for listening

[KeniLeeBurgess]

Very nice build. Interesting tone. How about 6strings? Bigger box? I would love to see and hear that. Thanks for sharing. Impressive.

[lennypurnell]

Thanks I appreciate that.I need to learn alittle more about guitar necks before I try a 6 string.Bigger box would be nice. I think that one you are playing is sweet! Thanks for your comments Lenny

[KeniLeeBurgess]

I love to see and hear homemade guitars. Setting a guitar neck correctly is not an easy matter. Getting good action and the intonation right. You should visit tinyguitars and pick his brain for suggestions. My large CBG was built by my friend Jimmy who is a professional builder. My friend Bill was the brains behind the two CBG that we built. I'm a player, not a builder, so I appreciate a good build when I see it. I hope you keep building. I think this model in a six would be killer. Good stuff.

[lennypurnell]

Thanks! I'll check out his site. You sound good!! Thanks for the inspiration.I'm building a smaller 4 string for a friend.Yeah a 6 string would be sweet. Thanks again.Keep playing that thang! Lenny

THanks!!

Ok Lenny! You went ackoestic! Nice sounding box man, did u have a hard time fretting it? Sounds good my friend

[lennypurnell]

Thanks! not too hard to fret easier than I thought. Just fretted a Uke might have problems with it the neck is so narrow the frets seem like they want to pull up on the ends alittle.

[FraJa1980]

Ive been thinking about making a fretted box too but i have an Dutch 60's guitar (Egmond) that needs restoring first. But i'm surely gonna try it, i thinks it adds a whole new dimension to a cbg and brings it a step closer to a real guitar.

[photog24]

sounds great. is that a 4 string? also, looks like you're collecting quite an arsenal of guitars there. let me see you play them all at once:)

[lennypurnell]

Thanks!! Yes its a 4 stringer. Tried to play them all at once,one time. Had to go to the Emergency room. Thanks for your input!
