This year's event will take place on August 26th, and once again I am accepting cigar box guitars and cigar box guitar-related donation, which will be raffled off during the festival, the proceeds to benefit Kansas City's Blues in the Schools program. If you have a guitar, accessory, CD, DVD--anything related to cigar box guitars that you would like to donate, please contact me at the Cigar Box Nation or email me at kevinmkraft@juno.com to learn where to send it.

Thanks for you time and consideration.

- Kevin

At 6:05pm on April 11, 2010, bairfoot cajun said…: the first aid boxes i use to build with,i get from e-bay.if they cost more than 10 bucks i usually don't bid on them. so sometimes i get a few for less than 10 bucks. any kind of box that cost less than ten bucks is worth cutting a hole in it to stick a neck thru yep.

At 12:22pm on March 25, 2010, KaptnKen said…: Cool...cuz I just know that I've seen that doo-hickey somewhere before but just can't place what it is. Of course once you tell me, it'll be a dope-slap moment!

At 5:21pm on March 19, 2010, keith peterson said…: Really cool what is she tuned to? What type of sound do you get as I have been using 1 2 3 steel boomers on mine and hate the sound, should I go to the 456? I like the simple look of yours also
