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 love the home made aspect of them. I also think that less than perfect instruments are better for things like blues and folk

Best power tool for building?

Started by Justin Stanchfield in Building Secrets, Tips, Advice, Discussion. Last reply by Justin Stanchfield 3 hours ago. 9 Replies 0 Likes

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.
