Hey, guys.  Here is a lineup of shows that I'll be attending.  The shows are in Southern California in the Temecula wine country.  If you'd like to come out and see me and my guitars grab yourself a ticket and come on by.

I'm very happy to hear how helpful you are all finding this :)  Makes all the effort of writing it worth it.

Josh,
It is this kind of effort at sharing that makes this hobby possible for many of us.
After I built my first cbg I read your advanced building guide series and followed your suggestions about learning to tune and sharpen tools. It made building the next one both a lot easier and a lot more fun. Likewise, I took what I learned from your fret work post and ripped the wire frets off the first one and installed real frets. Each one gets better. I'm about to finish the 6th, but now I'm reading your book with that same sense of doors opening - a feeling of "wow, I can learn to do that!" I think the 7th build will again see a big jump in both fun and ability, thanks to how much you've shared.
Thanks!

Josh:  Thanks for sharing your recent book.  I find it very informative and useful.  I am inspired by the beautiful instruments you create, and I hope you don't mind if I 'borrow' a couple of your ideas when crafting my own guitars.  Kind regards, Jess Allred

Thanks for the sentiment but I'm not so worried about money.  Just make something cool and send me a picture.

Josh, Thank you! your earlier series started me off in a great way and made much of the huge difference between my first and second builds. I just gave away #'s 2 through 5 at Xmas and have to build another 4 string, just started, now I'm eagerly waiting for the book to download so I can see what else I can learn from you to apply on this next one.
Oh, and I was all ready to PAY for your book. You might want to try publishing.

I've written a short book on the topic of cigar box guitar making.  You can get it for free from the following link:
