Artists as a rule are their own worst critics. But come on, you gotta' admit,
(alone in a closet if necessary) that this thing is So-o-o-o-o friggin' cool !
You deserve every bit of praise you get on this. Yup.
Thanks for the inspiration ! :-) -wally

I neglected to mention how I also really like the book-tar, very creative n' very well done.
Your work and that of some others here has gotten my creative juices flowin' again.
Dang ! I just love that Absinthe guitar ! Have a great weekend, take care. :-) -Wally

You will find all sorts of help/advice in here and of course you know how to reach me if you need to in person. My fretting tools are working really well and you can use them if you want.

At 11:42pm on May 2, 2010, Wes "I'm Baaaaack" Yates said…: Welcome aboard, Tess! 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
