Surfing the net a few years ago for info on Seasick Steve..
How many instruments have you built so far?
None so far but own a Nineboys & a Toelar & an HSG Hubcap guitar.
What do you find most interesting about cigar box guitars? (If you do not enter something meaningful here (at least one sentence long), your membership may be rejected as a spam/bot fake account).
Each one is individual & and in my experience ,inspiring from almost the first touch !
Hey thanks! Yep insomniac is the right word! Appreciate your comment. I'm waiting for some more parts to arrive - story of the life of most CBG builders on here! Have a great Christmas holiday. Ray
My humbucker came from a guitar that fell over and cracked the neck, so after I bouit a new guitar, I stripped the unit for parts, That happened to be the only part I had left.
If I had more of them, I would definately use em in my gits. I love the sound they give.
Hey, Bristol. It's good to have you for a CBN friend. I've seen and liked your comments to me and to others. Also, like your pic - I am a Mississippi John Hurt fan. I think more than likely your name is not Blue, but Blue is my mom's maiden name.
Ah, I should have thought of the glass. I see it collected here too.
Thanks for the kind words. Do you have a CBG? If you were here I would hand one over to you. I need to thin the herd a bit. But shipping overseas is not any fun!
Thanks for the 'friend' request; accepted with pleasure! What I thought has come true in that, since I got the cbg I haven't picked up the Tele! Such a great sound and obviously much easier to coax out a recognisable tune. Also bought a couple of slides so having a go with those too. Will keep you posted with progress. All the best to you and everyone on CBG for 2016.
Hi There - Thanks for the welcome. Twerton is cool, I used to live there. Real Bath with a proud community. I now live up the hill in Odd Down where we get blown about by the wind. Building my first Cigar Box Guitar out of parts I have around (I guess technically is an Engineering Gauge Box Guitar as that's what originally came in it). Trying to incorporate some industrial design features into it as a nod to this. Six strings because I have a nice bolt on neck that needs to be used. I'll post some pictures soon. All the Best, Robin

Yes, I've done the customs and shipping a few times and told myself I don't want to do that again!

Alfred kind of dates me but those who know him, love him!
I think we should lock all the candidates in a room with one electric cattle prod. The one left standing winds! (But that's just me.)

Thanks for the comment, Blue. James Burton also played dobro on the intro to Mama Tried.
