Just a little background on what got me into Cigar Box Guitars, and becoming a member of the Nation. A few months back I was flying home from vacation through Houston when I saw a guy walking in the airport carrying a cigar box guitar. I walked over to ask him where he picked it up, and we started talking about how he had made it for a friend in Baltimore and was headed up there to give it to him. We talked for about 15 minutes, said our goodbyes, and boarded the plane. After arriving in Baltimaore, I ran into him again in the terminal, and he asked me if I wanted the CBG because his friend wasn't there and he was going to have to fly back home. So I asked him how much he wanted for it, and was told "no charge, just enjoy it". I asked him his name and he said "Roadkill Slim", so Iasked him his real name and he looked me strait in the eye and without flinching replied "Roadkil Slim". I shook his hand, thanked him for the gift and we parted ways. Once I got home, I took a picture of the guitar and sent it to my brother who about lost his mind at how cool it was and how awesome it would look hanging on the wall of his man cave. So after much Googling, researching and reading, I've built a few (9 so far) and have a hundred ideas for future builds rolling around in my head. Glad to be a member of the nation and connected with so many like-minded folk.
