‘The Beast’ fretless electric 3 string CBG
Well the wife was right. She says I always sell my guitars:) I built this 3 string CBG for the CBGitty wildest electric CBg contest, just for fun. It’s a great guitar with two electric guitar pickups wired up to a 3 way toggle switch. Down is neck. Up is bridge and in the middle for mixed. It’s got a volume and tone control for a bit more versatility. It’s rough haha! It’s got a bolt for a bridge, aluminium edging for a nut and a vegetable steamer piece for a string retainer in the rear. It’s made using a (framed) La Paz cigar box and reclaimed pine for the neck. It’s got a meranti fingerboard and has burnt, hobo style fret markings on it. Finish it off with chrome box top corners, stickers and vintage style tuners and you have a definite head turner.. as in ‘What the fu…..??’
This is actually a great playing and sounding instrument that has been built with a lot of enthusiasm and bravado. Have fun with it:)
