What do you find most interesting about cigar box guitars? (If you do not enter something meaningful here, your membership may be rejected).
I am hoping I will be able to learn to play the three string CBG. I have tried to learn a six string but did not have the time to commit. I have a pretty good "low end" wood working shop with tools that were my fathers. I find the skills required for makin CBGs is perfect for my 8th grade wood shop education. I can only improve with each build. I have a diddly bow in the queue hopefully I will be able to play the one string.
