It seems that the only interest in CBG's is for playing blues slide.  Does anyone use it for say country, or blue grass?

Good honest 3-string slide guitar. Thanks.

Your instrument has a nice sound. I've got one I made that I tuned the same way, but it's not my best job of cutting and bracing the cigar box. Mine sounds dead except in a very small environment. Guess I need to order one from Ben to see how they're supposed to be made.

I forgot to put in the description that I was running it through a Fender Champion 20 amp, no affects on and on the Tweed voice setting. I tried to go back and change the description, but have not found a way to do it unless I delete it and re-upload.

I am a big fan of the Champion 20. I picked one up just after they came out here.  It was the cheapest amp in the store, cheaper than the really small Rolands. I've been playing mine on Blackface setting with just a touch of reverb. I've had comments from the guys I play with and they have some pretty nice gear.

Just uploaded my first music vid. Now I can join in. None of the songs I've written are real blues orientated.
