Hello everyone.My name is Dave and my friends call me Crowdaddy (something to do with raising orphaned baby crows).I joined the nation yesterday.I have been viewing cigar box nation and building for about 2 years.I thought it was about time to admit that I am addicted and join the family.When I first started building,this site was very helpful for the inspiration and information to get me started.So I'm blaming the addiction on you members that posted all the great pic's of the creative guitars, wrote about all the technical stuff(wiring,soldering,pickups etc) and of course Shane for his videos and enthusiasm.Thank you.My wife is probably out hunting all of you down with ill intent.I will add some pic's of what I have been up to.soon.I have just finished a 5 string gourdtar.I have had this fairly large gourd for years and finally got around to making a guitar with it.It was very squirrely compared to the boxes,kept trying to get away.Pic's coming soon.

welcome .. and .. you're welcome .. oh wait .. "wife hunting us with ill intent" .... i had nothing to do with it . :-o
Hi Bobby.Thanks.I'll pass on the info to the wife.
Hi Dave.She actually is very supportive, Just pokin a little fun at the amount of time we spend with the addiction.She checks craigs list and yard sales regularly to find tools and wood for me.I posted a few pic's of my most recent builds earlier.Not sure what I did wrong,they all look a little squished.Both guitars are 25 inch scale and look fine on my computer,after downloaded they look like ukuleles.I'm guessing there is a bit of a learning curve with all of this.
Looking forward to seeing your work! I have no place to really build any as of yet. But, playing them is whole other story! Cigar Box Guitars ROCK!
Hi Fred.Thanks.Where there is a will there will be a way.You will get there.I posted a few pic's earlier.They turned out looking a little distorted though and the text I wrote about them did not make it.I'm sure I will figure all of this out.I really enjoy playing them also.I have played regular 6 string for a while and after building and playing my 4 stringers,it has opened up a whole new world to me.Rock on brother.
All kidding aside , let's not forget the many talented female builders and players on this site , and their poor hubbies missing their shovels , axe handlles , and hockey sticks . etc .. ;-)
(see what i did there ? ,,, getting the female vote to help sway wife retaliation) ;-)
Yup..she is actually very supportive..very slick mr.pick.
Welcome Crowdaddy! hope to se your builds soon!
Thanks..I posted a few pic's earlier.I'm dealing with a little bit of a learning curve with it though.turned out a little distorted..the pic's that is not me..on second thought maybe both.More to come.
Welcome Crowdaddy.
