#1 resource for Cigar Box Guitars, Free Plans, How-To, Parts & More!
Thanks for the add
I've since purchased another guitar on eBay and I'm working on building a license plate resonator job. I'm also making a 2x4 lap steel, even though I don't have any idea how to play one. I couldn't resist.
Needless to say, I'm hooked on the CBG and am proud to join the revolution!
Thanks again for the add as well as all the info.

Welcome Tom. CBG's are great to learn on. I'm also disabled and have caught the bug to fill my time, but I have been a player and builder for many years. These guitars offer a lot of variety.

Welcome Tom,
I too just found CBGs and can't play a lick, but building my first guitar. I started with an 'Uncle Crow' but it ended up having a neck-through because I wanted to do some art-sy stuff to the top. Next guitar will be a straight Crow.
Like you, I am addicted! Already have ideas for a Diddly Bow and Canjo when I am done with the Crow CBG (have to do something with all the extra strings in a pack! :)
Got any pics?
Best and welcome again,
The Bane
