I'm quite new here in the cigar box nation.
I'm not American or English but Dutch, so my English isn't all that good.
I'm a 46 year old divorced lowender and since playing 6-strings is nothing for me with my big hands and thick fingers, i'll stick to anything that has 5 or less strings.
I stumbled upon this site, while i was looking for some info on building a stringed instrument on the cheap.
I'm allready building a electric bass guitar for my youngest as a christmass present and was looking what kind of electric guitar i could build for myself, to complete my collection of instruments (most are e-basses)
Nothing fancy but something crude looking, as cheap as possible, with 5 strings or less and somewhat easy to build :-) i saw cbg's and was sold on the idea of building one with 3 or 4 strings for myself.
Since most info in here is about 3-stringer CBG's i'll start with that, it will be dedicated to Lord Lemmy.

Since i've posted my welcome/introduction here i've finnished a (1litre) 1 stringed Beer-canjo for the "kick out the cans contest (dec.2017) and a short scaled, 4 stringed e-bass for my daughter. Building swtuff that works and you can play with is addictive, someone should warn people about that ;-P
If we warned people, we couldn't justify our addiction.
Welcome and build on.
