Introducing the Drew Estate White Electric 4-String CBG
This is a custom build I recently completed, and I just wanted to share with you the results. If can get your hands on one these really cool Drew Estate Flying Feral Pig Boxes, you may be surprised at how they turn out as CBGs. The boxes are unfinished, so a coat of primer was applied before painting. This is my first attempt at using a bridge/tailpiece/string anchor mechanism not of my own fabrication. I had to use some creative string routing to get a good break angle at the bridge and get decent functionality out of the vibrato. Tuning for this demonstration is open G (GDGB). Rock on!
