Hello, thanks to everyone for what you do for service members. I am currently deployed, some buddies of mine referred me to this site and I am itching to give the Cigar Box guitar a try.



I wish to get started and any advice will be greatly appreciated...



Thanks and look forward to this experience.

Things are coming along nicely with your builds Christopher. Hopefully have some pictures for you next week sir.

Forgot to mention Dan, I believe we can mark this one matched please as I am building for Christopher from a couple boxes he picked and he will choose one.

Thanks again

Here is the Mundial all finished up Christopher. It is a square cut neck with a CB Gitty Blues pickup. Lighter strings tuned DAD. Everything is stained and sealed with poly so shipping and returning home should not be a problem.

And here is the Patel all finished. Again stained and sealed as we discussed. This one has a bit of a heavier string setup tuned GDG and is using a Ted Crocker pickup.

I love this one. Man y'all did an awesome job. Its amazing what you guys can do. I will more than glad to send you pictures. If you want I will get the other two guys that have one together and send some to y'all. I am so looking forward to this.

I sent your address to Henry in a private message and removed it from your post so any bad guys would not be able to see it...thanks...Dan

Both sound fantastic hooked up to an amp for when you get home. Once you decide which one suits you better just message me the address to ship to. Whichever one you do not pick will be going to a local veterans program in Canada so it will find a good home as well.

Also, if possible once you get the guitar if you could shoot my daughter and I a picture as she started a scrapbook years ago with the service members we have built for. It would be appreciated as she puts in a lot of time building the necks.

Let me know sir and thanks again

Henry D

Ok sir I will pack up the Black Patel and get it ready for shipping. I also got you a digital tuner for you which will be in the box as well.

Pictures are always appreciated and thanks again for your service its been a pleasure building for you

The guitar is on the way sir, it got shipped this morning. Enjoy

That's great. I am so excited to receive it. You have made a dream come true. Thanks you so much
