Welcome, I'm relatively new to all this myself and have learned and enjoyed much from this meeting place. I'm on box #18, a diddly bow with 2 strings. I make my own boxes or find very interesting old boxes other than cigar boxes. Don't know why I don't use cigar boxes, guess I just haven't tried yet. I like beautiful wood and building boxes and shaping necks. I've been into electric boxes which is different for me. I've been an acoustic player before. It seems to be a strong part of this revolution, to amp up. I've got just little amps, but have enjoyed finding vintage inexpensive pickups on ebay. I like wiring them up too, learned mostly from you tube and this place. I've got grandchildren to supply with musical instruments. 6 of them.
