Sorry it's taken me 3 years to accept your invite. I've not been making guitars since the Grommit Git and have only just cleared out my workshop to the poiint where I can actually work in it ;-) Discovered a heap of unfinished necks and got the bug again :)
Hi there Daryll I have posted the pic of the only one I have left, will post pictures of the next build. Hope you are all keeping well and safe and keep strumming 3 stringers
i am absolute beginner, so I just completed 1st build that was a kit by C.B. Gitty. I hope to try the next one on my own. I have a comacho cigar box to use, still planning it out.
Thanks for the welcome and accepting me to the Nation. I am currently building a special tele style guitar, but once that is finished, I have been collecting parts for my next cigar box guitar. I used a fender neck on my last build, but think I will try my hand at a home made neck on the next one. Stretching my wings you might say.
Thanks for the invitation, Darryl. I like the bone nuts. I buy the blanks from CB Gitty. I would make my own from dog bones, but I don't have the power tools for the job. I guess a hack saw would work?
And I'd like to add that I totally agree with what your profile says about CBGs being portable, cheap to build, and creative. You can take 'em anywhere, and they cost so little to build that you can try out all kinds of different designs!
This video is the unboxing and the demonstration of a beautiful, six stringer built by Louie Lamanna. Join Louie and I June 15 at the second annual Pittsburg...

Thank you. Yes I am in process of what I think will be a very cool build. Something different.

Thanks Darryl!
Thanks for the help offer..I will probably ask questions as I go. I am looking forward to the first build a little later this year.
Cheers

Thanks. No, I've never gone to a meeting there. I did stop by the CBG festival there last year. I might have to go check it out sometime.
Thanks for the add. I've already started on number 2 (and 3)!
Thanks Darryl,your comment is greatly appreciated
