#1 resource for Cigar Box Guitars, Free Plans, How-To, Parts & More!

Hallo sagen

neu in der Gruppe wollte ich einfach nur mal hallo sagen.

Seit einiger Zeit beschäftige ich mich mit dem Bau von CBG's.

Ich freue mich schon daruf meine erste Spielfertige CBG in den Händen zu halten,und vielleicht den einen oder anderen Tipp oder auch Trick von den erfahrenen CBGbauern zu bekommen.

Gruß,Andreas
