I guess I'm kinda hooked now, one finished (in a fashion) as it was an experimental rush! 2 more almost done (another 3 stringer + a fretted 6 for a friend of my daughters) all I've gotta do now is learn to play like you!

At 10:22pm on July 30, 2011, Yellowbelly Flatt said…: Sorry Smojo,

but Flatt is not my real name. It is a "stage name", a nom de plume, that I use for cigar box stuff and t'internet.

My 'real' name is far more obscure and is a Lincolnshire name that goes back forever.

At 8:02am on July 21, 2011, Bad Finger (Eric) said…: I was watching some vids with my 6 year old daughter this morning and asked her if she wanted to see the one that got me interested in building guitars - your tobacco tin amp. She said "it makes me want to build a guitar too!"

At 1:53am on May 17, 2011, Bad Finger (Eric) said…: Thanks for complimenting my Punch Bow. I like the baluster neck so much I've gone out and purchased a few more. I'm sure someone else has done that before, but it not, it builds and plays very well.

At 11:57am on May 16, 2011, Sammy Lloyd said…: Hiya mate, Sammy here, thanks for the note. Just getting into this whole new world. Half way through attempting to build my first cbg. Keep hitting the wall as I don't have that much technical ability. Just amazed at how many talented individuals we have out there. Love the sound, love the culture. Now I need to start learning this wonderful instrument, seems a lot different to my Ukulele. cheers Sammy

Here I've been on the nation and never thought to look and see if you were here too. We haven't met, but your YouTube video with the tobacco tin amp was my entry into the CBG world. I can't seem to stop playing and building. Thanks man.

At 6:43am on March 30, 2011, Lee Vickers said…: no not yet, been playing slide on a little guitar i picked up and open tuned for a while now. i've also been collecting bits and bobs (boxes, cans, wood, machine heads, pick ups and such) over the last few months...got enough stuff for a few builds now and was thinking of knocking up a couple of simple d.bows and canjos as practice soon. when i get my arse in gear and make some, i'll be sure to post a few pics on completion.

i've checked out HGMC and boxstock looks a crack and there's every chance i might show my face.

lee.
