The simplest little resonator instrument of all. Please add links to plans, photos of your canjos and ideas you've found that make the most of this diminutive instrument.(The image is a temporary placeholder, I'll replace it any day now!)See More

What's up Mr. C? Are you up to any volunteer work for the fest? I'll need help with several things which I'll compile a list of. One area for sure is the 20-30 cigar box guitar builds we'll be putting on for the spectators. We'll have them pre cut of coarse but we probably need like an assembly line of helpers moving people through the process. Chickenbone john has a video of them doing this in the UK. By the way, the money that comes away from these $20. builds and $15. T-shirts goes toward the prize giveaways. Just thought I'd let you in on that. So far we have flat pups to giveaway from Elmer, a couple gold humbuckers and a music stores offering ether $150. in credit or an amp of same value. We're trying to drum up a guitar or to for giveaways. There are a few other possible sponsors that give promise but nothing from them yet. Remember, this festival is about all of you guys who love cigar box guitars, "not me and Gary", of coarse we like the hell out of them too.
