Q: Who were or are you main musical influences?
Kevin: Many would probably laugh at the vast array of music that I love and has influenced me. The British band The Electric Light Orchestra epitomizes my typical hybridizing of musical styles and genres, with Jeff Lynne's always reliably captivating slide guitar work sealing it for me.

OK now it's going to be more fun :)
This box has been waiting for me to get a little bit of experience, lurking on top of my cupboard. It's aimed as a gift for my daughter so my usual 'oh that will do' attitude will not cut the mustard, so to speak!!
Short trip out the house to get some oak for the neck and fantastic I find some that will do nicely :)…
ContinueGuess this is the best place to start a progress thread so here we go.
I've been wanting to build a CBG for quite awhile now, past attempts to find boxes were futile but I now have found a box supplier near me :D
I found this selection of boxes, found this site of course and started watching tutorials on You Tube.
(I was hoping to find one cool box and walked out with 7, yikes!)…

After designing a few CBGs and lap diddley bows that my husband brought to life with power tools, I made my first solo creation this week, and I'm smitten with my guitar style diddley bow.
While I've made 2 lap diddley bows and 4 CBGs with 3 strings with my husband on the power tools and me on design,…

Hi,
I just found cigar box nation. I sure would like to get one of their kits and make a simple one with a pickup on it. Have you heard of 'Sea Sick Steve'? He is great, check him out!
I want to share this resonator played song I wrote.
I hope you enjoy my song, slide playing resonator style as much as I enjoyed making the video.
Best wishes from Rick Washbrook

Cigar Box Guitars Have Soul - The look and sound of every CBG is unique and as different as the people playing them. So what may work great for me may not be the best fit for you.
Here are some basics that may be helpful in finding your perfect CBG.
Scale Size Matters - I have seen 5 year old children playing huge classical guitars like pros. So it is possible to adjust to the size and fret spacing of any guitar, but why should you? As a person with…

For those new to cb fiddle building, permit me to share some hard-earned tips to get you started right.
1. Getting Started: If you want to build a full-size (4/4) violin, it is critical that you get the correct measurements for the string length from the nut to the bridge, and the height of the bridge must be the same as a real violin. Bear in mind that a violin has an arch top, which raises the bridge height. Your cigar box will have a flat top, so to compensate, you must angle…
