Shane Speal has created a bunch of free how to play videos intended to be distributed to anyone who wants them.

Here is a link to a zip file with a handful of those videos:

Comment by Dan Sleep on December 30, 2013 at 5:06am

Hi Jonathan, if you scroll up a little bit, you will see a link that says, "+Add a Discussion"  If you post your request there, we will try to hook you up with a builder who can make something for you. That helps us keep track of the requests. In order to help keep you safe, please don't post your APO address publicly. Your builder will request that from you in a private message. Thanks...Dan

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all our service members who are serving their country here and abroad!!! We know it must be difficult to be away from your friends and family at this time of the year.

Just know that we are keeping you in our hearts and prayers, waiting for you to return home safely.

God Bless you.

Comment by Dan Sleep on November 19, 2013 at 1:58am

HI Matthew, we provide cigar box guitars to service members at no cost. It is our way of saying thanks for your service and dedication to your country.

If you really wanted to buy one, I sell them at my site at www.humidorguitars.com, and there are a ton of other builders here who sell them as well.

If you would like us to match you up with a builder, just click on the Add a Discussion link above, and create your own discussion. We will try to hook you up with someone who can build one for you.

Thanks...Dan
