"Oh wow. I thought I'd never learn his name much less see his face. He will be greatly missed. I was hoping in the back of my mind that this didn't happen. This guy could shred on the 3 string. "

What do you find most interesting about cigar box guitars? (If you do not enter something meaningful here, your membership may be rejected).: 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
