What do you find most interesting about cigar box guitars? (If you do not enter something meaningful here (at least one sentence long), your membership may be rejected as a spam/bot fake account).
The combination of the the love of wood and building custom items with a passion for music. I spent nearly 50 years without playing a guitar now I can not go anywhere with out one, building an instrument is a great way to spend a afternoon. Playing the blues and sanding a head stock are both ways to relax during a stress time. I have learned a lot and enjoy getting to know the world of Cigar Box guitar via YouTube, many interesting players/builders in which many are excellent pickers and singers.
