    Shane, Awesome video! I became aware of the Cigar Box Guitars about 18 months ago and have built about 12 or so. Truly a unique sound. Continue to do what you do!

    Thanks Shane for your insightful tour of your personal journey into the World of the Cigar Box Guitar. I have only been aware of this movement for about two years now. I am very thankful for the road you have opened for others to join. My love for this instrument is much like yours in the sound.... The sound that you can only get from a CBG!

    Wow! What a great speech! Thank you Shane for your obsession and for your willingness to share. You've provided a lot of fun to a lot of people, whether they build or they marvel at these unusual instruments. I'll tell you, I'm having a blast!

    I guess everyone has a story to tell . I love CBN ,thanks Shane, but have always disliked titles like "King of" , "Godfather of" etc. All the same, I really enjoyed hearing your story . Thanks for sharing :-)

      It's tongue-in-cheek.  Trust me.  I ain't no king...
