Welcome!

This is a Group for anyone living in the great state of California, who builds, plays, or is just a fan of Cigar Box Guitars, and similar Handmade instruments. If you don't want to say exactly where you live, just say Northern, Southern, etc. I want to be abreast of any major gatherings...this summer is out, for me, but maybe next....
Stop in an stake yer claim, pardner! .....

Comment by Matt D 12 hours ago: Bummer. There goes the weekend. Hey does anyone know of a sporting goods store in sacramento that sells fishing line by the yard?

Comment by Will King yesterday: Hi Sacramento Area CBGer's....I think I picked a bad date for this meeting, because only 4 people responded that they will come. We have decided to cancel the Git-together for May 26th and we will schedule one for June or July.

Comment by Matt D on Tuesday: Definitely will be there.

Comment by rodney fruits on Monday: I am out of town and will not be at this one.

Comment by DRW on Monday: I just came to the site to see when it was - guess I need to drop in more often. Yes I plan to attend.

Comment by Ellwood T. Bear on Monday: I will be there.

Comment by Will King on Monday: Hi all Sacramento area CBGers. I have had zero response on the Git-together planned for May 26th. I will give it 24 hours more, than cancel if no interest.

Comment by Joseph Andrew Devine on May 15, 2013 at 9:27pm: Staking my So Cal claim. Hi names Joe. Live in Spring Valley. Work hard, so I can play hard. Got first 6 string cgb done. Looking forward to meeting a few of you some where down the line.
Thanks in advance
Joe D.

Comment by Will King on May 7, 2013 at 2:11pm: No picnic at this time, the Strum Shop was not able to get the park reservations.

So, we will have a CBG meeting at the Strum Shop on Sunday, May 26th, from 1 to 4pm. That is Memorial Day weekend.

Lets concentrate on playing at this meeting, so get your ACT worked out.

We will have a raffle of a CB Clock & CB Amp to support the Ukes for Schools project. Also, cigar boxes for sale. Donate your extras.

Bring all your CBG's because there are always attendees who can not build there own, and are looking to buy. Bring parts, amps, slides and pickups to sell.

Leave me any suggestion for things to do at the meeting, here and let my know if you can attend.
