YeahDoIt replied to David Ford's discussion strung this 3 string puppy up with one string, to test, tuned to G, and it's pretty flabby."I measure nut to bridge 24.75 (Fame acoustic guitar), 25.5 (Lyon acoustic guitar), and 25.5 inches (Samick Telecaster). I prefer the sound of acoustic guitar strings on my cigar box guitar rather than electric guitar strings. My unwound strings are…"
YeahDoIt replied to Matt Dudley's discussion Microphone - mic element from radio shack."Sometimes I just put a mic inside the cigar box. Most of the time I don't use a mic, I might be outside on the street or somewhere."
YeahDoIt replied to Devin Thompson's discussion Flying with a CBG"Play CBG in the airport. You'll probably be the most interesting person in the waiting area."
YeahDoIt replied to ThePetty's discussion Keeping The CBG Box Shut"I drilled two holes in mine so I could tie the top down with a thread. Then I removed the thread because people really like it when I show them the inside of the box."
YeahDoIt replied to Bomb Strike's discussion Some questions from eastern europe :)"I can play my CBG with the cigar box wide open. I suspect we do not need a box. A thin sheet of plywood might work. Maybe any box works. The box may be there for holding the guitar, not really for sound. Experiment with materials that you find. Make…"
YeahDoIt replied to Mark Werner's discussion 50.00 slide...."I found a broken beach umbrella in the dumpster. It was made from steel tubing. I cut off a piece with a plumbing pipe cutter (it might produce a better edge than using a hack saw). Works OK. Cost $ 0."
YeahDoIt replied to Fat Fingers Grim's discussion new cbg sound help"Are they new strings? New strings sound weird, sort of peak about 200 Hz and have a brassy sound. You might try bigger strings at lower pitch. I am still experimenting with strings and tunings. I can't seem to find something that I really like."
YeahDoIt replied to YeahDoIt's discussion 14 Gauge House Wire"Bend 14 gauge wire, tape piezo microphone to the end... voila instant headset microphone. Working on improvements, but it works and doesn't cost much."

I found some 14 gauge house wire in the dumpster. Amazing stuff. I can bend it and it holds it's shape.Been using a aluminum tripod purchased at a resale store for USA $ 4 as a lightweight microphone stand. Using a $ 11 Audio Technica ATR 1100 microphone, works well. Bent some 14 gauge wire into a microphone clip, wraps around the end of my tripod. Now I have a microphone and stand that works pretty well and didn't cost much.See More

YeahDoIt replied to Tracy Tomlinson's discussion Slides"I cut a piece of steel tubing off a beach umbrella and it's a pretty good slide. I round the ends with a rock. For maximum mojo, go dumpster diving to get the discarded beach umbrella. This is what it sounds like on my cookie tin guitar:…"
