There was an article in a fairly recent "Guitar and Bass" magazine about making your own CBG. I believe that MM has one which has been "optimised" for best tone by someone. Michael.....? Stevie.

Send John a pm, it won't cost as much as you'd think for a showstopper.

Oh blimey you guys are SUCH a bad influence. I've already got a Busker Cannon arriving Friday, but then today I fell in love with a Mandocello and bought that too. Would upload a picture but can't work out how. Will keep trying.
Meanwhile, the landlord will have to wait ;D

I'm going to have a few uke cones and coverplates available in a month or so for anyone wanting to have a go at designing and building a cigar box reso. ;D
