The big news this week is that Cigar Box Nation is getting a new look and feel!
You can check out this forum post to read more of the details. This is the first major update to the site in a few years, and we hired a professional designer for the project, to make sure it will be the best it can be.
We are hoping to install the new design overnight TONIGHT (Thursday, June 18) so get ready! Here is a teaser of part of the new top banner layout for the site...
This week's featured instrument is an oldie but a goody - a beautiful gambling-themed 3-string cigar box guitar built by Adam Kovarik of Australia. He first posted pics of this guitar on Cigar Box Nation back in December 2013, and we thought it deserved another look. Check out that awesome vintage cigar box!
The Festival season is officially under way! Don't forget to check out the Summer 2015 Cigar Box Guitar Festival Guide, put together by Shane Speal and posted on the Nation. There are still lots of great CBG festival and music events coming up!
The next festivals on the docket are:
If you know of any other festivals that involve cigar box guitars, or are planning an event yourself, please let us know!
Want a special instrument, but too busy with warm-weather stuff to build your own? C. B. Gitty is having a summer instrument sale - 15% all finished instruments. This sale ends tomorrow (June 19) so you'll have to hurry!

Yeah, bright and neat. Seems a bit busy and cluttered at first, but I am already adapting. Everything is right there. Thanks for your efforts, Ben.
The new look is great Ben, thanks!
Thanks for highlighting my blog post Ben. :)
