I would like to have a Cigarbox Guitar - Matched!!

My name is David and I am a Hospital Corpsman in the Navy at the new Walter Reed in Bethesda, Maryland. I work in the wards helping out with the Wounded Warriors and other patients on my floor. I was told to check out this site from a fellow Corpsman, who is a reservist at is into playing cigarbox guitars. I think this is really great what you guys do here for our service members. I was wondering how I can become an owner of one of these really cool cigarbox guitars. Thank you.

Hi David, welcome to the Nation and thank you for your service.

I am in the DC metro area, and could fix you up with an instrument if you like. Would you like fretted or fretless? Right handed or left handed?

Thanks

Dan

Hi Dan,

Thanks so much, I would like that so much. I am right handed. I have some guitar playing experince but I haven't played a cirgar box guitar. I am unsure if I should use a fretless one or not? Thanks again.

This one sounds good, and is fretted, but can also be played with a slide if you like:

OK, it is yours for the taking. Let me know what your schedule looks like. We can probably meet up and I can hand deliver it to you. It makes no sense to pay for the shipping.

(Is that a record for time from request to fulfillment? Sure seems like it! Go, Dan!)

Timing is everything!

Yes I agree if we are close enough we could meet up. Thanks again, i am unsure if you need time to make it or not but if you have one built I can meet up as early as tomorrow. If not then I work for the next 3 days after and I wouldn't be able to meet up till after 8pm. Is there a metro stop we could meet at?

I have one built and ready to go. I am about 10 minutes from the Huntington station on the Yellow line.

I will be around in the morning tomorrow, probably until about noon or so.
