- Hey John, thanks for the friend request. I still think the vid was cool. I like a good looking and sounding, well produced vid, and it was cool to see the builders that I have got to know over the past couple of years be able to promote thier cbg's. It just seems like the performers end up being an after thought at some of these fests. If it weren't for them, we all might as well be making cigar box boat paddles

Wes "I'm Baaaaack" Yates said… - Welcome aboard, John! You will find lots of helpful folks and information here on all things CBG (CBU, CBB, etc.) Feel free to poke around, ask questions, and post your stuff (photos, recordings, videos, etc.).
Up in the Free Resources menu at the top, you will see a number of plans for building and playing cigar box guitars/ukuleles/banjos/dulcimers/violins. I encourage you to download any of the plans, take a look at them, and ask questions from there. Also our site is VERY searchable. I bet you your questions have already been asked, so take a few moments and look around.
Join our Chat sometime (see the bar at the bottom of your browser page). Keep in mind that tho the chat window says there are X number of people online, not all may have the chat window up.
Most of all, have fun!
