I bought an FR50 once. My wife threw a fit when I came home with it.
I realized later that taking the guitar back had been the wrong solution. Now I don't have the guitar OR the wife.
It averaged out pretty good.

I guess what I'm trying to convey is that I like your profile picture. Lol.

Welcome aboard, Rex! You will find lots of helpful folks and information here on all things CBG (CBU, CBB, etc.) Feel free to poke around, ask questions, and post your stuff (photos, recordings, videos, etc.).

Up in the Free Resources menu at the top, you will see a number of plans for building and playing cigar box guitars/ukuleles/banjos/dulcimers/violins. I encourage you to download any of the plans, take a look at them, and ask questions from there. Also our site is VERY searchable. I bet you your questions have already been asked, so take a few moments and look around.

Join our Chat sometime (see the bar at the bottom of your browser page). Keep in mind that tho the chat window says there are X number of people online, not all may have the chat window up.

Most of all, have fun!

-Wes
