What do you find most interesting about cigar box guitars? (If you do not enter something meaningful here, your membership may be rejected).
I love how I can use various woodworking skills to make each piece unique. As a graphic designer, and a draftsman, I believe I have the right skill set to make nice instruments. My sons are also musicians, and this brings me closer to them. I love this stuff!
