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).
CBG's have provided me with a new and enjoyable interest, whether I am building one or playing (I started learning to play and build in 2017) They have also revived my interest in folk, rock and blues. I enjoy listening to the music and watching the performers. I am developing and working on my own CBG music material.
Thanks Bob ! im not as fast as some of us here on the Nation ! but will keep you posted ,im planning for fo comming weekend to get busy whit some ears on the box for putting on the tuners for the strings , after that i got to lower the inside bottom to make more room for the playing key's its a one of a kind thing and study how others did it and adapt ! Greeeeettsss A.D.

Thanks for the comment Ambrose ,had a checkup to day no tetanus needed, my old shot was still valed! recovery goes well ,no tendon was damaged (luckely) at least got some good luck whit the Bad!! all it needs is load of practis to get it to bend where it use to!
I saw the Spit and the Lanc at an airshow which is every year.
The british aircraft isnt every year but the have re-actment camps
and Churchill impersenators.
we even seen an old military Matchless!!!!
Couldnt believe it when seeing it the dude asked do uou know what that is? i chuckled and said yup my Grandpop had an Ariel and a Rudge. Red hand of Ulster!!!
