Welcome!

This is a Group for anyone living in the great state of California, who builds, plays, or is just a fan of Cigar Box Guitars, and similar Handmade instruments. If you don't want to say exactly where you live, just say Northern, Southern, etc. I want to be abreast of any major gatherings...this summer is out, for me, but maybe next....
Stop in an stake yer claim, pardner! .....

I summer in California (San Ramon, SF Bay Area, NorCal). The other 9 or 10 months of the year I'm in Shenzhen, China teaching English and messing around with canjos and cigar box guitars. During the summertime, I would like to be able to join a group in NorCal to learn to play better.
