Thanks brother.  Been on the edges of the Nation for a long time.  Lone wolf joins the pack.  Thanks for the welcome.

Thank you BrianQ.

i hope to get plenty of knowledge from this site.

I play small guitars, GS mini and 3/4 little Martin.  When I'm ready to go, a short scale 4 string is what I want to do.  For lack of much power tools,I'm going with a cb gitty neck and fretted fret board, 23 inch scale.  I wonder what the affect of the short scale will have on the tone.  Ukeish?  I've got a nice Maduro box I'll use.  The top is thick wood and the bottom is thin wood. I'm thinking I should build it with the box upside down to use the bottom for the sound board, for better vibrations. Also, I wonder about sound holes on the sides of the box like some guitars to leave the top-sound board intact( vibrations-tone).

Thanks, Brian!  I appreciate the welcome.  I bought my first CBG for Christmas.  Now I need to learn how to play.  Hoping to use this site to get started.

Brian, it's very good of you to welcome so many new folks to CBN.  Good on yer, brother.

I hope so.  Things are fading.....  More gone to Facebook.

Hi Brian, thanks for the welcome. Looking forward to reading and learning about Cigar Box guitars. And of course finally building and playing one. Cheers

Thank You Brian ,

Can't wait to get started on my first attempt at a cigar box guitar. I've finally managed to find one in a Whisky and cigar shop in Knutsford, I'm just gathering together everything else I need then it's all systems go .

Thank you for the speedy welcome!

Thank you, Brian!

Thanks for the invite..i live in central bc ..in canada and was wondering if you have a supplier in canada..the freight and money exchange and duty make my cost almost double what is advertised on this site..thanks for any reply

Thanks Brian!

Thanks, Brian.

I am a bit obsessed with getting great tone from piezos for archtop guitars without preamps. I followed Ted Crocker's diagram for 1 meg pots in volume and tone circuit and it definitely gives more volume. The tone caps I used were .022 instead of .0022 and it works to make the sound more clear but doesn't really cut treble, which is desirable in some instances.

Does anyone have any thoughts about this?

Hi, I was excited to find this place! I am a novice builder but also a professional artist in paint and sculpture. I hope to create boxes with style and maybe carved parts. I work in wood stone, fossil mammoth and walrus ivories, bone, etc, so maybe something exciting will come out of me. I sure hope so. I play guitars and some mandolin, so this is a logical step. I think if nothing else fun will happen! Thank you for the warm welcome!  My friends call me "Doc."

Thanks!!

Thanks for the warn welcome Brian! Looking forward to diving in!

Thanks for the welcome Brian.   I’ve been lurking around the site and watching piles of you tube videos already.  I will check out the places you suggested.  I am very near the point of tempting my first build.  Thanks again.  Tim R
