A fret setup that worked?

Not for any particular build I have in mind...just trying to get an idea of what might have worked for someone. I keep thinking that it's complicated, but simple if the right tools or calculations…Continue

Cool, cool. Maybe you'd consider bringing a guitar to plink around on. I've never been to a blues jam, but the bluegrass jam I went to was very laid back. You could even play unplugged so that you just get more comfortable with it yourself. I wouldn't mind giving one of yours a test ride. I'm not in the market to buy but I've never played one that wasn't my own. Who knows, maybe you'd spread the word about your website!

OK, OK, I joined the group!!!! :-)

I am planning on being at the Bangkok Blues event, but more as an observer, since I don't really play worth a crap and am not ready to play in front of anyone yet. Looking forward to it though.

Alright...2 weeks until the jam. I honestly don't really know what to expect since I've never been to this place (or a blues jam for that matter). Jon, I think I remember that you're still trying to figure out which end to blow into to make a sound but I hope you bring a build anyway. Maybe I'll have to shoot a little video to show the rest of the CBNation what's happening in the Nation's Capital. Jon, do you know anyone else that's planning to come? I figured Iggy would probably be a good bet, but he hasn't joined this wonderful group yet. Maybe he needs a personal invitation. Anyway, I'm looking forward to this!

I'm planning on being there - it'll be great to meet some other folks who have been caught up in this addiction. :)

Hey nice to meet you Ben. I'll see if I can make it!

When I first joined the Cigar Box Nation, there weren't many of us representing the Washington, DC area. Now, as things grow, there are more of us every day. Let's use this group to plan some jams and events. First up...Bangkok Blues jam on Sunday, June 27th. Let's all show up and make some noise!
