I've caught the CBG bug. I just finished my first build and had a great time and learned so much new information. I've done some freelance writing in the past and have been thinking about putting a project together and publishing something myself. I would like to put together a CBG magazine. I would like to get a sample digital issue together and put together a Kickstarter proposal to try to get funding for a print edition. Is there anyone out there that would like to contribute? It can be an article, how to column, photos, art , really anything you can think of. If you have any ideas please let me know. I'm also thinking it would be cool to offer a digital mix tape of mp3's with the issue. Any feedback would be appreciated. Message me here of cbgmagazine@gmail.com. Thanks.

Thanks Jabes,

Would it be possible to see a digital version of your pamphlet?

I'm still working on it, trying to figure out 'Word' is a bit of a pain for a computer illiterate

Thanks Slowpaw,

I'm definitely going to produce a digital edition. I'm trying to find the most cost effective print option as well.

well    if  ya   do  a  printed version  ..  you   absolutely  gotta   put  in those  cheesy   retro  ads   in  the back  we all  love to   hate  and love  ..  lol 

just add a disclaimer as   not  really  for sale etc  ..    lol  .  that would be   hella  cool  

and all  jokes aside   ,  a  centerfold  WOULD actually  be  a great addition  ,,  but  a  picture  of a  featured  cbg  of the month   etc..   this would draw    buyers  from the  builder  crowd  to  see if  theirs   gets  in  .. etc  , and adds a collectable  draw also.   lol..  you  may  even   wanna  do  iron on   pages  for  shirts etc  ..  

 keeping that retro  vibe  .   ;-)

  just  tossin  that out there  . ;-)

Everything about CBGing is about niche marketing.  As big and comprehensive as the Nation is, there are still unexploited niches.  A print mag might just be one of them.  Although I was somewhat aware of Rat Rodding, I have bought several editions of Rat Rod Magazine and have a fuller appreciation of that endeavor.  Why not a similar opportunity for those with a very casual interest in CBGs?

Seems like a good idea,your welcome to use any of my pics if you like, either from here or my Facebook link I posted below. Good luck!! :>)

Thanks! I'll be in touch.

I think it's a great idea and  I could make a modest contribution.. I am new to this...but I like it.

Can you do everything here that you can do in a Newspaper yes and more. But how would you like your guitars advertised in a magazine that's in at least one music store in every state, not impossible.

If you make good instrument easily available to the mainstream some good players will buy them and play them and get hooked and write songs on them never quit dreaming about how good a music you can make share and help be made. If this really is a revolution at some point we become part of the mainstream. I can see Humidor, Swampwitch and Reddog guitars hanging next to Fender, Gibson and Martins in music stores.

I see Humidor, SwampWitch, Withers, Davenport and Sam hanging next to Fender, Taylor, Ovation, Contreras and Yamaha right now in my man cave. ;-)

actually  there  ARE  "swamp witch   familiar  6 strings models"   hanging  in   my    local    music  store    right  beside  gibsons  . and  that  store  now  has  exclusive rights to  them  .  :-D
