Profile Information:
- How did you learn about Cigar Box Nation?
- Just stumbled on to it while researching cigar box guitars. I am glad that I did.
- How many instruments have you built so far?
- 25 or so, including Banjo's, guitars and Dulcijo's and Dulcimers.
- 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).
- The fun thing about cigar box and homemade instruments is there are no rules. Each one has a personality. I have the advantage of being a musical idiot. So I don't have enough sense not to try something different. They are not expensive so mistakes are cheap. You can build for years and never have to make 2 alike. These days almost every box, cookie tin, can or lid or odd little piece of hardware I pick up I try to envision it as part of some instrument. Sounds corny but it makes me view the world as a better place.

Shame you put your git on the fire, I think one of the great things about these guitars is that whatever mistakes you make they can always be modified to make them work

If you accept my friend request, I can send you some separate info on chugger tunings, strings, scale lengths, and playing them.
