Original by Richey Kay on 3 string Cigar Box Guitar

An instrumental track I've been working on for a few days, the melody came to me during the worst hangover ever... 3 string CBG tuned AEA, hand wound pickup, Bugera V5 on 0.1 watt mode

Beautiful Richey! Almost classical sounding there at the start.

 Great tune and playing , reminds of some thing Donovan would have played .

pickup sounds great sweet playing. Like to see if someone could get one of those amps to run on a lithium  Battery.

...and I completely forgot to mention, this is the build with the fan bracing on the underside of the cigar box lid, which made it very rigid - I think the sustain is pretty good on this one. I'll probably do this for all subsequent CBG builds.

Thanks for all the awesome comments everyone! Nice imagery John, I think I'm subconsciously trying to maintain some calm with the house move going on etc.

eK - I don't have any words for it yet, this is just what I have come up with so far... I would like to record a better version of this at some point. Luckily my little brother has a degree in Music Technology and a home studio... and nothing could have justified that hangover :-(
