WS, I have a question regarding the 9 +- pairings of saddle/nut elements. The main ones being wood, metal, bone. I was wondering how much varying and pairing you have done, and with what results from these combinations? Thanks.

Hello! My name is Kevin M. Kraft, founder of the annual Kansas City Cigar Box Guitar Festival. This year's event will take place on August 26th, and once again I am accepting cigar box guitars and cigar box guitar-related donation, which will be raffled off during the festival, the proceeds to benefit Kansas City's Blues in the Schools program. If you have a guitar, accessory, CD, DVD--anything related to cigar box guitars that you would like to donate, please contact me at the Cigar Box Nation or email me at kevinmkraft@juno.com to learn where to send it.
Thanks for you time and consideration.
- Kevin

Matthew Borczon said… Sam, did you get the picture I sent you the other day. I am so sorry you did not get this before now. I was so crazy busy when I was there it must have slipped my mind. I thought I sent you one when I sent the one to the nation. Let me know if you got it or if I need to send it again.
