These are the first prototypes and I wanted to see how they go before offering different sizes and more designs. I am hoping to get some more made soon and I will look at different sizes then. I should have some with me at Boxstock for those wishing to try them out. Greg

Yes, great designs but too long for me personnaly, I'd deffo try a 5cm/2inch one if you make them.

Comment by Lazylefteye on December 5, 2016 at 5:51am

Some nice designs there. Any plans to make different sizes?

Comment by Slow Blues Dani & Ol' Grey Bear on December 5, 2016 at 4:44am

Some great designs, Greg. I particularly like the bandage, the heavy inked tribal and the Ace of Spades. Might put one on my christmas list. Just have to behave between now and then. Not easy!

Can't see them on Ebay, can you do a link ?

Comment by Greg Henshaw on December 5, 2016 at 1:43am

I'm looking forward to Boxstock and I'm busy building up my guitar stock. I thought I might show you folks a new venture of mine in connection with my friend Nathan at Sculpta Ceramics. We are making ceramic botttleneck slides which I have designed and decorated and are now available on Ebay UK. Here is the product code for the first one. 201733017496. There are 6 in total. Please have a look and let me have your comments. Greg

I would love to come. But cash restrictions are restricting everything I'm doing right now. Building/buying parts is my main pain right now. Everything CBG related has been shelved so that I can eat. I am owed a chunk of money that would cover everything but I have no idea when or even if it will come my way on time. Crossing my fingers.

Just a quick reminder for any of you folk who are making and selling cigar box guitars, you need to be at Boxstock, 25th February in Wolverhampton. It's an ideal opportunity to sell your wares to an appreciative audience- a stand is only £30 and includes a free ticket to the evening gig. I won't be asking for payment  until the New Year, but if you want to secure a spot, please message me -  if  the spaces get booked up, it's strictly on a first come first served basis. Come on, get out of your shed and get selling!!!

Tickets for the gig are available here:

Or for the cheeky "early bird" deal, go direct to my website:
