How did you learn about Cigar Box Nation?: Former Member

How many instruments have you built so far?: Hundreds I lost count

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).: Most interesting to me is how they effect people when you gift one or when someone finds out they're playable instruments. On top of thst the limitless ways you can build is mind boggling

Buzzing strings when fretted. Frets look good. I have a zero fret license plate guitar. Break angle I can inprove at the nut however the buzzing is coming from the bridge, I used a banjo bridge.
