Hi Stone,

Welcome to the Nation. I am sure there are multiple folks who are more than happy to sell you one. Some folks have inventory ready made for you to select from. Others would love to make a custom one for you.

 

Have a look at my site, www.humidorguitars.com and see if you like my builds and my prices. If not, you can try any of the other builders here.

 

In any case, welcome to the addiction, and thanks for your service to your country!

 

Dan

Hi Stone. I play 'em, build em', and teach others. I'll teach you all I know, (and you still won't need anything) HA!  From here in East TN, Richard S. MSG, USA (RET).

Dan, I must say that black one on your homepage is slick, but I did see that Kuba Deluxe model on the sidebar. I was upset to see that it's sold because I love Drew Estates cigars (Acid Blondie) and I would like to have a piezo in there as well.  MSG. Sanabia, do you post in other forums on this site or other sites? Crafting my first CGB is going to take some effort and I need good men on my team! I know I have the woodworking skills, just need the direction. Keep putting up pics as well, I love the details and finish. Hooah!

I have several more of those boxes and in fact, I just made another one of those for my buddy's wife. If you want one, I can make one for you.

My cigar box style guitars are made to order. but here one you might like, the tone is good, and the bottom comes off so you can see how they are built. Seeing the insides of one helps a lot when you want to learn how to build.

Stone, if you want to, send me your email.  I'm retiring next year and thinning my collection.  All my personal builds and mostly my performance CBGs.  I bet we can find something for a decent price that you'll enjoy....

 

the best,

Thanks everybody for your response! The models I've seen are very nice and definitely worth the asking price, however due to my history of collecting hobbies my wife has limited me to $50...which I can only guess would cover materials and shipping on a very simple model. Perhaps something used? Or I would love to source the needed supplies and reimburse you for the work. Just send me an email of your required parts list and I'll get back in touch with you. Only thing is I'd love to hang it in my office so military oriented design cues (I'm Infantry) are a plus! Also, check out my blog as I try to craft one of my own!

Hi Stone. I'll send you this one, and 50 will cover the shipping too!. Playable, and you can see how they're made..

Well Mr. Sanabia I would be honored!  It is a really great looking example and I can't wait to get it in my hands. I have sent you a message so we can sort out the other stuff. Take care! Also, everybody has been more then kind in helping me find a nice CBG. Let's keep the faith and support all of our soldiers, airmen, and sailors at home and abroad and please never stop showing them the support I've seen here and experienced myself. The kindness makes it all worth it.
