I just wanted to introduce myself.
I am a 40 year old guy from germany and I failed playing the guitar in a punk band but hope I will learn to play the blues on a 3-string-CBG until I aged 85....so at least there is some hope, some time and only three strings.
I am still into punk-rock but I like the blues-label FAT POSSUM and a reduced, minimal sound in general. I think a CBG is perfect for me.
I am about to build my first 3 string-cigarbox in a few weeks. I collected a lot of cigarboxes, bought all the other parts and will get help from a friend of mine, who is a master-carpenter...so I don expect any problems builing the box.
I am not sure about the pickup - I think I will try a piezo for the first box.And I am not sure about what kind of strings I will use and what the bridge will look like.
anyway, I will post some pictures when the box is done.
cheers
utz

Have fun...I used for the bridge the center rod of a bolt latch for the door...ground flat on one side.....use medium Nickle strings
Welcome to the fun. Muddy Creek Guitars is right, it is an addiction. You can quit any time you want, but once you start you won't want to. Every build is different and you will want to collect the whole set.
Just how many are in a "Whole Set"? ; )
Is this the two or the four lane set? Did you get it with the GT40's or the lame Mustangs?
No idea of how many exist in a "Whole Set", but I still have a lot to build before I even get close.
Have fun buildin man! In addition to CB Nation, I also recommend checking out reddit.com/r/cigarboxguitars.
Utz are my favorite potato chips of ALL TIME! You beat me by a day, so I can't welcome you aboard, so welcome ME ABOARD! Rock out, Dude!
