This is a little dated, but still catches the essence of our friend Bill Jehle who is also the curator of the CBG Museum... Congrats Bill!!!

Thanks for posting the link to the article; it's an outstanding read and reminder of what it is all about when it comes to building cigar box guitars. Bill's simple DVD provide just what I needed to to make my first instrument just a little over a year ago, and things haven't be the same since!

Doug,

If you ever get a chance to talk with Bill, you will find a great guy. This summer, right after acquiring the CBG Museum, he went out of his way to keep a commitment to provide some vintage CBGs for a show/exhibit that I was doing. He didn't have to, but he did it all the same. I hope to meet him face to face some day.

the best,

Wichita Sam
