Eh, From Canada

So,

I am new to the world of cigar box guitars, I got myself one of the mass produced "Electric Blues Box Slide Guitar"s by Hinkler Publishing, and I am really enjoying it, especially for the price it's a great value, especially for a beginner like me.

I have not built any of my own instruments yet, but I am going to try my hand at making a didley bow, because that seems a good place to start.

When I get some more practice, and more skilled at playing, I am going to buy a "real" cigar box guitar, from someone.

So hello from Niagara Falls/Welland Canada!
