My name is Donny Bell, and I build and sell CBGs, mini-amps, wooden guitar knobs, and custom wound pickups as "Fear No Beard CBGs" in Central Ohio. What started as my child's middle school science experiment about sound waves, quickly turned into a full-fledged hobby where I get to use my woodworking skills, and offers a creative outlet.

I built my first cigar box guitar 13 years ago and built several over the next couple of years. After a brief pause, I picked back up and haven't looked back. I build quality instruments using and assortment of domestic and exotic hardwoods.

Looking to build one yourself? Message me for custom wooden knobs and custom-wound pickups made specifically for CBGs and other DIY instruments!
