"Hey Tom. Saw one of your builds at your folks house a couple years ago. Nice work. I had just built my first cbg then. Working on 5th build now. Close to finish line on this one. Got few more in planning stage."

How many instruments have you built so far?: 4

What do you find most interesting about cigar box guitars? (If you do not enter something meaningful here (at least one sentence long), your membership may be rejected as a spam/bot fake account).: NO RULES, open sharing community with most people more than willing to help others with how-to. Most people share build secrets and everyone gets better and creativity flows as result. Built my first CBG when Dad was ill. Stayed with him a lot then. Working on guitar was like therapy for me. Finished it a month or so before he passed. I enjoy working with salvaged,found and scrounged items.
