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).
They invite the most interesting and long term relation ships around the world. There are no rules restricting method or materials. Rarely are any two alike. Most people can easily play one within moments.
hey thanks for watching my video. the scale on all my guitars are based on a cheap SG silvertone i bought out of a catalog 11 years ago. the length is 24 3/4". this is also the first guitar i built with the neck angled back a little bit. i dont know how many degrees that is, but it does require the bridge to be higher than usual. at the pickup my strings are 1/2" above the sound board and is 1/4" away from the pickup
Much obliged for the friend invite. Really enjoy your videos. The art tip was great, the whamola was awesome (got a nice Jazz Bass too I see), and I really got a kick out of the surf and road music. Nice solidbody guitar build too. You're certainly a busy guy! :-))
Just let me know ill bring a canjo for a door prize and ill help with the build if you need it
Get me some flyers I'll get them around I talked to the blurs day
Guy fm88 get the word spread also might contact Gabriel maybe as gust mc he has big pull draw in stlouis
Thanx for the friendship !!!!!! I live close to Pa, but had no idea were York was. thanx for letting me know, Harrisburg that's a good 150 miles form me. I would really like to watch the Festival you are doing with the live streeming, I think you guys are going to have a Great Time.!!!!
hello Smiling Dog , yes I did inquire about shirts. I found how to purchase shirts on paypal and you should have my payment shortly. I purchased 2 LG and a vendors space w power. I would like to buy a couple of posters to display at my booth during upcoming craft events. Were in staunton il and I'm the guy who leaves the 3 strings at Sacred Grounds in Edwardsville for the college students to pick.
Gday, Smiling Dog, just back from the South Coast,picked up a new surfboard yesterday that I've been waiting to get hold of,got home tonight and the tee shirt arrived today,happiness all-round!!Thanks,it fits well and looks great!And thanks for the posters,I wish I could've made it!Have a great festival!Ross
Steven, congrats for the fest! Cool to hear that you are already planning on next year's event. Raising the bar? - Well coun't on me for give aways :-) Thanks, Elmar
Hope you got a book with that. Looks like it might be above my tech level. Let me know when you post something when using it, like to see what you can do with it. Have fun with it, but not too much fun.
I don't know how any structure will work the first meeting, there will probably be a lot of get to know each other going on. You also have mention selling and trading and some seem excited about that, where would that time come from. Don't really know what you're considering crafting, maybe exchange of building techniques or materials or what ever. However you do it be flexible because some things will get people more excited for one reason or another and eat up more time than planned. I would just try to work something for the first and then figure out how to proceed in the future, but wouldn't really put anything in stone yet. Also some will want to spend more time on something different than others and will get bored quick doing something else. Gonna' be difficult to please all but I think we can satisfy most. Just a thought maybe themed meetings sometime focus strictly on a single topic, should give advanced notice of this no doubt.
It was nice meeting everyone last weekend! Hope to see you all at the next meeting. I am starting to gather parts for my second build this one will be fretted.
"Pick" and "Uncle Lou" have suggested that I get ideas form you about getting a group started and please ignore the photo I accidently posted when trying to get rid of the red star beside my name on "my page." Thanks, Preston
