I am out on the east side near Florence. Have built a few, looking to do more. Should play more that I do, but love building and playing when I can.

Hello All, I'm new to CBG's. I have built 1 CBG, ! Canjo, 1 Washboard Guitar, and a 3 string Drawer guitar. Built an amp. Working on a fiddle. I'm in Peoria. AZ would love to learn to play what I've built. Please let me know if anyone is in the West Valley.

Moved to Green Valley, AZ in October of this year. Thought I should check this site to see how many CBG'ers live in GV. Hopefully there are a few. I just started about 9 months ago teaching myself how to play the 3 string CBG. I can play some tabs but cannot say I actually play.

I'm in Prescott Valley. I build several baritone cigar box ukes a year. Always interested in getting together with peers to share and play. Here are pics of my last three builds.

I'm not sure if the group is still active or not. I'm in Cave Creek and do a few builds a year.

Except for David in Chandler, I don't see much activity. Is this group still active?
