"Yes I did see the new one. I tried to send a comment to you but it looks like I sent it to myself. Maybe I got it this time. I'm not really sure on how to talk to people on here. It looks like they made some engineering changes to the new one.…"

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).
Figured I would buy one, learn to play it, then try my hand at building a diddley bow and progress from there. bolts for bridges and hinges for tailpieces are the two things that really sold me.

Awesome! I am so glad to hear that you're enjoying the process. 

I still can't play a lick of it either! In fact, mine is in New Orleans at the moment, in prep for the CBG Fest!

I'll admit that I am bad at keeping up over here, but Shane gave me a shout and directed me over. I just had to take a look. After that sense of deja vu, I am definitely looking forward to the completed build!

Thanks for the comment John. I actually didn't realize they used that for the newsletter so thanks for drawing my attention to it. :-)
