#1 resource for Cigar Box Guitars, Free Plans, How-To, Parts & More!

Handmade Music Factory - the ideal Christmas present - reserve your copy now!!!

The Godfather is making you an offer you can't refuse!! You may be aware of Mike Orr & Shane Speal's book "Handmade Music Factory" which was recently published. It's the ideal Christmas present for any fan of cigar box guitars and home-grown handmade instruments....drop some broad hints to your nearest and dearest, or just treat yourself!

It's normally $22.95 plus $12.95 postage from the USA, which works out at £25.50. I am presently taking orders for this fantastic publication at the great price of just £14.99 plus £2.75 post and pack for UK residents, which is a massive 30% saving on the US import price. The very first UK delivery is expected late November/early December, so just right for Christmas. Drop me a message to reserve your copy, and I'll invoice you when they are ready to go out to you - payment by PayPal, bank transfer or steam powered cheque or postal order.

From the rank beginner to the hardened pro builder, this book is a great source of ideas and inspiration - guitars, stompbox, diddley bow, washtub bass, amps, wiring and loads more, plus a useful appendix section that includes plans, template and fret spacings. It's beautifully laid out and presented, with stunning photos and some very useful and clear "how to do it" step-by-step photo sequences. 160 pages, full colour, softback. This publication definitely belongs on the bookshelf of everyone who has an interest in cigarbox guitars.

Hi guys..thanks for all the nice comments...I'm just pleased glad I can get this publication out there.

The first batch has sold out, but fear not, I've just taken delivery of another load, so there's plenty to go round.

Hi good people, there are still a few people who reserved a copy who haven't followed this up. I have sent out private messages, but got no reply. If those people could let me know whether you still want a copy that would be cool..no big deal, but it helps me keep a tab on my stock...also if you've not reserved one, but would like to buy one, just let me know.
