hey guys,
been visiting the USA last month (i'm from NZ) and meet a guy in Calico (the ghost mine town) who made cigar box guitars. he was making a big sale so couldn't stay and talk but would love to see some of his work. if anyone knows him can you let me know. many thanks. Cliff
welcome from the east coast! my advice: hang a guitar string on the wall with a small brad. there's more where that came from.......
Thanks guys! appreciate the welcome.
Have fun building CBG's and whatever else comes to mind. Lots of info here on the site and people willing to help answer your questions.
Build on - Play on
and Lenny .. and everyone else ..
Play on!
good stuff Tony ;-)
This was built in June-July 2014. My latest build was a six string using a take off from a cheep Telecaster. I don't do many per year and prefer doing kits which C>B>Gitty supplies more than I have built. I heve several I am working on now.
Welcome to the addiction.
