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

Effective as of yesterday,,,,,,,

My partner and I have severed our working relationship and I have moved my operation up the hall closer to the entrance to that level in our MALL.
Any folks that have visited or bought from me will have no problem finding me in the MAll still.
My inventory of Amp,s and pickups should be here by Thurs and ready to sell by Friday morning.
You will find my prices for Amps and pickups a bit cheaper ( same equipt) then what they were in the other shop.
I look forward to visits from all and I love to chitchat with folks even if they DONT buy.
So if your in this area ,try and stop by so we can chew the fat for a while.

Will do Shane,I'm now working up new pics including the couple that actually own the shop I'm in now.
They very graciously offered me space at No charge ,to which I explained that the only way I could move in on them is if they take a good cut off the top.
These folks are some of the finest folks I've met in a long time and just plain fun to hang with.So 1 of the links will include a link to their OWN store site also.I'm proud to know this couple ,the MALL itself,, and I consider them a great asset to have here.
Thanks Shane, as soon as I can get this together ,I'll send it str8 to you.

Roger, like a lot of folks on the site, I log in daily, and you begin to recognize people ... even though you've never met. A change like you are going through also offers a chance for reinvention, which can be a good thing. Reading your posts in the past, it seems like your business is really based on quantity, and you've been burning the midnight oil at both ends. Be careful with the burn-out! I can't help but think with the number of CBG's you've made, you continue to build your skill, and perhaps this opens an opportunity to build an additional line of higher quality instruments, and a higher price point to build your business to a new level. Perhaps think about a good Marketing spin, an upscale line of products (you could build it slowly while you do your current thing), and it could blossom for you. You know your business and clientele better than all of us, but something to think about.

Just a thought ... Best of Luck ... Change CAN be good.

Phil D.

Here's the 1st pic of 1/2 the couple that owns the shop I'm now in.He is Vic Runningbear, a Cherokee Native AMERICAN, and one of the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet.
Can you guess who is who?
