Review by Bruce N. Olson for Rating: I bought this proudct a year ago this summer, and I have to tell you it was one of the biggest dissapointments in my history of airsoft. At first you open the package, look at it, put it together, and its alright, but the stock and those rings on the two ends of the rifle are easy to break. If you so much as drop this about four feet from the ground, the stock of the weapon will come right off, and you’ll have to superglue the whole thing. The rings will come apart if you pull to much on the strap, which means if you are running around on the field and you sling this off your shoulders it’ll end up breaking.Shooting was the major dissapointment with me. The first day I recieved this I quickly assembled it and loaded the clip expecting great results, but it quickly ruined my hopes and expectations. If you cock the spring back and fire, you’ll understand what I mean. The BB will exit the gun, like its supposed to, go straight, likes its supposed to, but after 15 ft or so it will start to curve left or right and by 20 ft, it will be going DIRECTLY left or right (NOTE: I shot it on a day that had NO wind to play with the BB’s trajectory.). If you are going to buy this, you’ll end up spending $30.00 on a really expensive toy gun, so please, save your money and look for weapons that have a good amount of good reviews or that you KNOW will be good.

Pretty good lookin cbg for your 2nd attempt. Since you’ve built that one, you’ve prob made several more. I found an old CORA electric guitar at a rummage sale for $5 and salvaged the humbucking pickups from it… stuck em in a cohiba box and called it awesome. Never know what you’ll find!

Soccer ball video games are fun to play but the real-life one is the best of all!

Go ahead and break the piezo out of the plastic case. In the case it is more sensitive to feeback. Don’t worry about polarity, it will work fine either way. I’m not sure about the action being too high, but it guess you’re using bolts for nut/bridge that are too large. BTW, high action isn’t much of an issue on a fretless guitar. Many slide players like it that way. Fretless/not fretless has little to do with “sustain”. Neck thru designs, especially with hardwood neck have great sustain.

hope this helps,
