Eddie V looks AWESOME!!!

[ Honestly they all do, but
EDDIE!!!! ]

Thank you amigo! I try to never brag, the Eddie V sounded SO good with that P90... It is sitting in my cousins restaurant right now... I need to get it back.

Accoustic.--- Electric??

Almost all of them were electric, the prototype was acoustic.

I would first chance I get.
Unless it's locked in the office.
It would Certainly be a
" Can I touch it "
attention getter!!

I should also say, I did not do any of the painting.. My buddy did all the airbrushing. He was really good.
This was his personal CBV

 

[66 Galaxie]

Different stages of work..

 

[66 Galaxie]

I still have this one.. I love it. The skulls glow in the dark on this...

 

[66 Galaxie]

You can see the skull guitar in the stand here..

All these homemade guitars and @Brian Krashpad 's NGD got me tuning up my Cabronita scratch build.

I'm not sure if @DirtySteve even knew about this... it was in the works back then.

 

[66 Galaxie]

CBE! Lol

I'm not sure either, seems familiar, but I can't trust my memory anymore.

Speaking of scratch builds, I should really dig out one or two of mine, and put the ES-335 and Strat away.

Why not 6 strings and what 4 strings are used?

Partly tradition. The other possible issue was that those necks were made with no truss rod.. was not sure how the extra string tension would play out..
I think the strings I used were the inside 4..

I did make some 6 stringers later..

 

[66 Galaxie]

Here is a fun one...
Also, If you look at the CBV to the right, that is a 6 string. I built that neck with a truss rod.

Most cigar box guitars only use 3 strings. Here's a guy showing basically how to play one and the difference between 3 strings or 4 strings. Aaand now I want one.

This guy is so into it! That is how I felt when I started building them

The trem absolutely works on the CBG as well.

Now THAT was cool! After seeing this, all I can think of is… should we get 66 Galaxie a new cape for Christmas? I’m thinking sequins, you know, something to go out to dinner with the other Gods. DAM!
