Hi there.
First, I tried posting this 10 minutes ago but I lost it somehow. Well, I obviously just found it. Forgive me, I am old and confuse easily................................
I hope I am sticking this in the right place. I am just trying to learn my way around in here.
I am older and retired however I am still quite good looking. I have been playing guitar for a few years, all being 6 string acoustic and I finger pick. Right now I am concentrating on Nick Drake songs. His songs fascinate me with their odd tunings and his picking styles.
Anyway, I have been curious about cigar box guitars for some time now. In my area I can't find any to look at first hand so I have been snooping on the internet. I have about 12,347 questions about them and as soon as I can find the right place to put them I will post a few. I have learned that I will want a 3 string cbg with a pickup. Also that I doubt that I have the tools nor the skills to build one but have found quite a few on the net that have piqued my interest.
Until then I will be snooping and reading and in general ignoring my honey-do list.

You say "old and confuse easily" as if it's a bad thing. Just part of the aging process. Growing older is mandatory, growing UP is optional. I'm getting a bit gray around the edges, but I'm still looking at the top side of the dirt. Life is good on the lunatic fringe. Welcome to the Nation.
Roger that Marcus. Age is just a number, not a sign of what you do.
"I am older and retired however I am still quite good looking."
That's obvious by your picture. No reason to rub it in.
"I have about 12,347 questions "
That's just getting warmed up. Bring em' on!
"I doubt that I have the tools nor the skills to build one "
I doubt you can build one either. Almost no one can.
I would suggest you plan to build three at minimum.
Just don't go annoying people by not sharing your progress and some tunes.
Welcome. You have found a good place!
