Hi Jim,

I like the idea of a paper overlay for the sound hole. It's something that I have thought about but as my instruments are predominantly built to be used electronically, I rarely use a 'conventional' sound hole. Don't think that you have to 'move on' to 4 strings. 3 strings are seemingly used by the majority of CBG players and they do it well. 4 strings are just a bit different.

I shall be at Cambridge, not sure about getting to Boxstock. Playing at Lincolnshire day of folk event in a couple of weeks

Look forward to seeing some of your work soon.

Hi Jim,

I guessed that your guitar might be a Chickenbone special due to the price. These are great guitars that will allow you to learn a lot.

I prefer 4 string instruments in the cigar box style. Will you be attending any cigar box events later this year?

Hi Jim,

welcome to the Nation and to the Brits are coming. I see that you are in the east midlands so - in cigar box terms - you are almost a neighbour. Good Lincolnshire name Frisby.

What kind of cigar box guitar have you got?
