Salutations from the Sandbox! - Matched!!

Good afternoon,

I am a huge guitar fan! I am a mediocre player though (ha). I bought an acoustic when I was younger and taught myself the basics and that progressed to me jamming with my friends. It is such a great hobby and I enjoy playing with people or solo. Playing guitar is a stress reliever for me and puts me at ease during hard times. I am really interested because this is my first deployment and I didn't know that I could have brought a guitar with me. Playing for the guys would be such a great experience and also another way to bond as a team.

That being said, I found out from a coworker that you can possibly provide me with a guitar. After I visited your website, I fell in love with the CBG! They are so unique and who doesn't like cigars right!??! I am hoping you can help me out. I am not trying to say its really bad being over here, but a CBG would really ease my mind and would help pass the time. Thank you for accepting my membership, I am so grateful I am part of the CBNation!

Hi Zachary,

Welcome to the Nation and thank you for your service to your country. We should be able to get you an instrument. Would you need right handed or left handed?

Thank you for the reply. I really appreciate it. I am a righty but honestly, I am just grateful to receive one.
