Mr.melo

Cool stuff I have a few older boxes hard to find here but my eyes are always open. I have a good supply of new boxes that are nice. I dont sell on the net just to people who ask me here its a hobby I am out of the house 12 hours with my job. But I love to build and play em ;-) And there is also the number plates, hub caps and and all the other stuff to build from;-)

You should post some photo's and Vids man I have cocked up one or two or three ;-) but got around it by scratching my head and a lot of help from here. I just love the music and the people;-)

Your guitars sound great.  The glove box has a "stringy" sound I would expect from a very shallow box, but I like the tone and the style you play it.  The antique cigar box guitar sound very nice and looks great.

that I will.I have boatload of songs and grooves if ya ever want to collab,u have a great voice.

thank you mr melo .

Hi:

Yes, that was my first attempt at a frettless 3 string CBG.  My son, who plays guitars, asked me to build one for him.  It came out nice, so I went on to build a 4 string.  My son's guitar instructor liked it so much he still has the 4 string CBG.  I just tried to make a neck for a 3 string bass and really have to re-think how I'm doing it.  Big tuners are without a wider headstock.  A couple of mistakes and such on this one.
