Step by step guide how to build your own CBG.
Available on AMAZON!. My new textbook, 24 pages in color, premium paper, available next week in the mail order at online bookstore. Format 216mm x 280mm (8.50 inches x 11.00 inches).
Note, that this is not one and only way to build a CBG. I tried to make it simple way. I put a lot of work into this textbook. I did not use the Copy / Paste method because I do not steal. All photos and drawings are mine. If you find typos, spelling or anything, please accept my apologies. I wrote such e-book guide 10 years ago with the intention that it would always be free with the possibility of a small donation in exchange for my work. Over the years, many people have used the book, but only one person supported me by buying coffee at https://ko-fi.com/mikucigarboxguitars. That’s why in 2023 I decided to re-write it, add more content and publish it as paper version. Have fun!
