Believe it or not, CBG has been a long time coming. I even had the parts for it (most, anyways) at various points in time but it somehow never got made. Pickups got installed in my various electrics, a cigar box (well, a wine box, actually) got stomped on by the little one (completely my fault) and a strat neck I had procured got sold off to finance my r/c car hobby (now switched to r/c planes, much cheaper :) ).

But kudos to you for reminding me, indeed a viable option, but I've set my sights and my wallet on an acoustic. It will take me a lot longer to build and I hope that fact alone will prevent many a mistake. :)

You might want to consider one of these as a first project:

Interesting stuff and you can avoid some heavy import duties since you can probably make or procure all of the parts locally!
I started building one of those about 10 years ago but couldn't finish smoking the cigars. Darn things made me ill and I hate wasting money so I gave 'em away.
