- How did you learn about Cigar Box Nation?
- From Shane Speal and Sutton's Cigar Box Guitars book
I bought a Shane Speal Chugger 3 string, Then a Chris Weekly 4 string. Then started building my own.
Shane Speal, Chris Wheekly, Cigar Box books, you tube, have all influenced me.

Mort said… Holy Buckets man! Looking FANTASTIC! Whats the price quote on this puppy? ALso, as far as spacing, Go for whatever you feel is best. My uke is very thin spacing, my 3 string is a bit wider, it's all good. I'll learn. Whatever you feel she needs! Thanks again man!

Howdy Dave, Missed yer message. A thousand apologies good sir! Yeah Winter sure as heck had me down! Man that Cabin fever was killin me! 8 months of snow, makes us Minnesotans who we are though. I'm still interested but the price is too high at the moment. There was a gas leak at work and we couldn't work, and then there was a few days I missed off of work, so money is tight this paycheck. No fun money right now. Gimmie a bit to get back on my feet and then I'm in! As far as the build. Yeah a nasty greasy pickup is preferred! You can go ahead and put it on a sturdy wood cigar box. I got a few great ones if ya wanna use those, including a thick bible box. I'm gonna bolt it onto a sculpture attached to a wood frame, so that'll make it easier. As far as the neck.... ummmm... whatever is cheaper for me and easier (or funner) for you! I will probably keep it a 3 stringer regardless. I like the simplicity. THANKS AGAIN, Talk to ya soon!

JP Swenson said… Was it a Harmony Rocket you were looking for? Saw one in a guitar shop today. Cool old ax. Asking $650 I think. Ouch!

Chris Thomas said… Hi Dave, you seem to have enjoyed looking through my pics which is great, the "Ashbone" git turned out really well and sounds awesome. My eldest son Guy claimed it and did me a demo vid, He wanted a fretless neck to do his slide guitar on, wish my playing was up to his standard but the building is more my forte. All the best Dave, have a good weekend, Chris. :)

Mike "Katfish" Karash said… Hey Dave, I'm back on the grid and saw your comment on the DoublHandy. Thanks for the kind words, they keep me inspired. I'm going to try to do a video as Uncle Toad suggested, It wails with a real player! I'm just a builder... so I've gotta go recruit one!
