"Nice tribute. The Spanish flu back then was a killer. Walk through old Grace yards and a lot died in 1917 to 1919."

This is my idea of a vintage look. The dial is something that was my father's. The bridge is an old ceramic doggone resistor. The holes are covered with parts off of a paper shredder. Only thing that worked well. Sounds nice!

How did you learn about Cigar Box Nation?: Cb gitty

How many instruments have you built so far?: 2 great sounding, 1 with issues.

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).: I have arthritis. Can no longer play regular guitar, hurts, but wasn't that great at it anyhow. CBGs sparked my interest again.
CBG's are easier to play, fun to build. They hit that creative chord in me.
