Welcome!

This is a Group for anyone living in the great state of California, who builds, plays, or is just a fan of Cigar Box Guitars, and similar Handmade instruments. If you don't want to say exactly where you live, just say Northern, Southern, etc. I want to be abreast of any major gatherings...this summer is out, for me, but maybe next....

Comment by Michael H. Fischer on August 3, 2015 at 7:25am: Tru Oil finish is available to us CA residents through Amazon at the moment. I checked on it a few day's ago and inadvertently hit the wrong key and placed the order for a 32 oz bottle for $18 and change plus shipping. Tracking say's it's on it's way and arriving Thursday?

Comment by gary sheldon on August 2, 2015 at 3:58am: Thanks, Alan. It has been a long time coming. I bought it mainly for a roofing project on a house I own in Sacramento. After that it will go into service to build guitars. Don't know where I will keep it though. I am currently building on my small sailboat.

Comment by Alan Garrett on August 2, 2015 at 3:53am: That is awesome Gary. You are going to love it...a tone sever for sure. Happy birthday to you.

Comment by gary sheldon on August 2, 2015 at 3:44am: Birthday present to myself. Finally a tablesaw, so I don't have to beg time on one to make a cut.

Comment by Moedecker on July 23, 2015 at 5:50am: Thankyou both

Comment by Will King on July 23, 2015 at 5:28am: Moedecker, reed on down the comments and you will see the address of the Strum Shop. I should be posting the next meeting for Sept in a week or so. Thanks....Will King

Comment by gary sheldon on July 23, 2015 at 5:23am: Moedecker,

We have a meeting about every quarter at Roseville, near Sacramento. There should be one in a month or so. They are organized by Will King.

If you can come, please bring some Tru Oil, gunstock oil. We can't get it here in Ca anymore. I would be happy to pay you for a couple of cans.

Comment by Moedecker on July 23, 2015 at 4:31am: Where do you all meet and have events and stuff? I was raised in Mt Shasta and now live in Reno and frequent the hills of Portola, Ca. So not a legal resident but a weekly visitor to the state. If possible I'd like to visit you all and have some cbg fun on occasion. Thanks- Moedecker

Comment by Michael H. Fischer on July 22, 2015 at 11:19pm: Just tried to re-order the tru-oil from walmart. No go. Big price jump and it now say's they cannot ship to a Ca. address. The 3 oz. bottle does not have the no Ca shipping notice .... yet.
