Trevor A. commented on Poorness Studios's video

"Very cool! I've got a 1960s Sears Silvertone parlor guitar that I can't play worth a damn. Picked it up on eBay for $60 about 16-17 years ago. I need to mix it into practice rotation with the banjo I'm learning. "

Clawhammer Cigar Box Banjo

"Thanks, Dave! I’ve been playing about 15 months, now, with no previous music experience. I kinda tried guitar lessons in my early 30s, but it never clicked. Somehow, the banjo in my late 40s has. The strings are nylgut. Aquila brand, maybe.…"

How did you learn about Cigar Box Nation?: Searches and YouTube posts

How many instruments have you built so far?: Less than a handful, more than a few.

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).: I like the folk art of them. The sound is neat, but I like the art and personality many builders infuse into their work. You can build a simple paper box build or go completely nuts with hardware and creativity.
