BrianQ.

Thank you Brian !

Thank you

Thank you for your Kind comments on the Mutant Guitar gif,  see where your coming from, it is verry much inspired by art , and all the stuf on the nation is mostly catagorised as folk-art anyway so i dont see the special disticktion, but  i will probebly not fall in the catagory anyway's  ,after reading the rules again in a nations mail from Gitty it has to bee a mutant between two instruments, and allthow the paint brush is a instrument in a way , its one for painting and not for sound allthow that is produced aswell when rolling the paint but my intensions are from a diverend Nature anyway ! but i see you like it and i thank you for your kind words on the subject ! greeeeetsszz A.D.

Hi. Thanks for the,howdy.

when I click on the Essentials links I get notices of expired security certificates and that the site may be trying to steal my personal info.

maybe a site moderator should look into that.

thanks, Lorenzo.

true enough.

Thanks for your welcome Brian.

I'll beat a couple of my Chromebook's IT gremlins into submission, then I'll have a look around.

Cheers

Peter

Thank you so much!!

Thank ya much Brian

thanks I will building 2 of the kits with my grade kids and will start making my own boxes soon after.  

Thanks for the comment Brian, as for being a keeper, it's getting crowded in here!

Thank you for the add, I have been following this page for some time and have found it very useful and informative.

Regards, Craig

Thank you BrianQ for the invitation. I need a guided tour as I cannot find my way around. I tried to show what I was doing but was only given 140 words. How do I sign in? How do I find postage costs for Germany? At present, I buy Gitty's things from Amazon de.

Dear Brian, 

Thankyou for your advice but when I click on HTML Editor the window merely shrinks or grows bigger. I find things, however, by chance such as this column and I have seen wonderful videosw but I have no idea of how the system works and how I can get to where I want to go at once. I would like to show you a picture of my new homemade guitar but though you told me 'This is the way to do it', I did not descover the way.

I am content to fiddle around but would really like some system to follow.

Thanks Brian,

I wrongly clicked on the editor before writing, not after. As I have macular degeneration and Parkinson's and cannot read normal print and using a mouse is difficult, sometimes impossible, it is rather awkward for me to get about. I am thrilled, however, with what the Cigar Boy Nation produces and organises and can blow up most things on my computer. I copy the tabs, then with aid of a large magnifying glass, into a note book in a far larger size. In this way I get by quite nicely. I am most thankful for the patriotic American songs. Though I am a German citizen, my great-grandfather left for Alabama to help the Confederates in the Irish Brigade and, as he was a farrier, he helped build up the cavalry. My grandma was born and grew up in Alabama., her 'sweet home'. She had to leave for England to marry her cousin as there were few young men still alive in 'Sweet Home Alabama' after the war.

Thanks for the good luck wishes for this year's festival. Last year was lightly attended as everyone was kept outdoors and spread out in circles on the lawn. We're hoping the added instrument building activities for kids helps bring CBG awareness and appreciation amongst more families. 

Thanks for the welcome!  I am currently searching for a 3 or 4 string electric cigar box guitar, so I can play some "Samantha Fish" style blues...

Thank you for the welcome! Looking forward to building some CBG!!!

Brian,

   Thanks for the welcome.  The website is great!  I love all the resources.  I've already learned quite a bit without building a thing.  The 2x4 lap steel appears easy.  I'll have to try it first.  - Brent McNabb BME

Thank you for your comment, looking forward to being part of a community that I share the same interest in

thanks much, glad to be here. site has amazing amount of content and very active/up to date. I plan on spending a fair bit of time just learning what's available.

Thank you Sir BrianQ

Thanks, it has 2 springs in it for reverb and it sounds just like a banjo

I had some extra material on my  neck, I was going to cut it off, but thought I could do something ornate with it, I'm going  to make a peg wall hanger for It, and try a strap with it also. Thanks for taking an interest in it. Its my first fretted instrument, I learned a lot along the way,

Thank you!

Thanks for the welcome, Brian!

Thanks for having me

OK thanks Brian

Thanks for your welcome Brian, and the guise to the  inks. Very much looking forward to becoming involved. All the best  Chris

Thank you Brian. I just picked up a few cigar boxes in the Beale St. Blues district in Memphis TN. They weren't aware of any cigarbox guitar festivals in or around Beale St. Do you know of any in the Memphis, TN area?

Brian, I looked through your photos for an example where you used molding for a fretboard, but couldn’t find one. I did note the use of toothpick frets, good on you! Doug

BrianQ,

Thanx for the info!

Eddie

Thank you! Will fix soon. I see now I'm not the first one requiring this correction :-)
