The CBM100 is based on the Artist series. Bowles also owns an AR700 that he bought as a young man and which he has played on every Zac Brown Band record. He uses both his CBM100 and his AR700 on stage.

The CBM100 features a German carved maple top with cream binding on a mahogany body mated to set-in 22-fret mahogany matte-finish neck with a smooth heel a 22-fret ebony fingerboard with binding, split block position markers and glow-in-the-dark side dots. Components include a fixed Schroeder Stoptail bridge, dual Seymour Duncan Antiquity humbucking pickups with individual volume and tone controls, Gotoh tuners and Sure Grip III knobs. The headstock features a custom shield logo.

The guitar was introduced at the 2016 NAMM show and was released in September 2016.
