Rand Moore replied to soulpatch29's discussion Zither tuning pins??"The first time I heard of zither pins being used on a cigar box guitar was on a cigar box ukulele being shown off by Pat and Patrick Costello back in 2008.

soulpatch29 commented on Shane's group Double Neck Contest"I think that Shane is probably rethinking this whole "contest" thing. I wouldn't blame him if this was the last one. Or in the future making the contest an anything goes or by using only cigar boxes in the build including using wood…"
soulpatch29 commented on Shane's group Double Neck Contest"Cool build Albert. I'd like to see more pictures of it. Not sure if pieces of a cigar box would really count but hey,I'm not a judge. Nice Idea to use it with a looper."

I went in his Bus to shake his hand, fumble around with words cause I was so nervous meeting him and then leave and he says...."NoNo sit down here I wanna get to know you" and I spent 45 minutes talking to him. What a highlight of my life..
