Try tiny guitars. His work looks fantastic, and though I've never bought anything from him, I'd bet my left pinky on his integrity.
He's a National so you can find him here, but here is an ebay link to his fretboards.

After building a few CBGs I'm looking to buy a pre-made CBG. Not looking for anything fancy just a simple 3-string fretted with a pick-up. Any suggestions? Shane was sold out and I've been having a hard time getting in contact with Tomi-O music for…
Ok, I'm putting it out here... I've been working behind-the-scenes with York PA businesses and organizations about hosting a massive Cigar Box Guitar Fest at the end of August, 2010.
Thanks for the invite Joker. Recording new material this week and will send your way when completed.
The music that started a revolution and grew into a nation
A cigar box guitar was meant to be played!!! Cigar Box Nation is encouraging all its members to get out and perform in public. Find an open mic and PLAY. Then come in here, post pictures and setlists and exchange ideas. Tune up and rock out.
Scavengers unite! We want to know what unusual trash you've used to build instruments. Post your trash-to-treasure creations. Follow up on Dumpster Diver contests.
A place to discuss, dream up and create Steampunk instruments.
Putting the THUMB in the strum...
The great electric "Spambo" is almost finished. Will post pics very soon.

- Rev. Mike what is the deal? I thought I submitted to you a CBG song for an upcoming CBN CD? I guess this has nothing do with the newly released CD? What is going on? Thank you.

HENRY LOWMAN said… - Hey, thanks for commenting back. I'm very interested in your experiments with sympathetic strings. I'm working on that myself. On my last cd, I managed, after MUCH experimentation, to create a buzzing bridge that allowed other strings to react to the melody string (an electric box sitar/guitar). Check out the song "Realizations and Certainties" on my page to hear it...

- Hello,
I have started a CBN group entitled, "How to Play CBG" It is my hope and intention to encourage the "Wealth of Talent" here on the Nation to share their knowledge and skill to further the CBG movement. Please consider contributing an instructional "video" link to this group. If you are a viewer seeking instruction, please feel free to write. If you have any suggestions or know other players who you think may want to post instructional "video" links, please contact me. Thank you for your interest and support, Keni Lee
