Just wanted to say hi to the cigar box guitar Community

I have been reading a lot of the postest. I had no idea there was  such a variety of homemade instruments. I will be building my one CBG soon and I would like to lean on the  Community for help ideas and encouragement .

Thanks

Richard

Welcome Richard.  Good wishes on your build.  Most of us would suggest you do a fretless build to start and likely a three string or a one string diddley bow.  Check out how to build under resources at page top.  Bolt saddles and nuts are fine and easiest.  Keep about 2 inches from the nut to the nearest tuner if you can.  Keep it simple.  Have fun.  Check out knotlenny's CBG 101 under resources, how to play.
