On my various travels over the last few years, I’ve been haunting cigar stores hunting up boxes for builds for myself. I enjoyed the hunt but now have way too many and have about 10 liquor boxes full of good cigar boxes (suitable for guitars) that I will not use. I live south of Ottawa but from time to time head to the Toronto area.
I wondered if you could use them, and if so, how I could get your address so I could load up the SUV and deliver them?
Mr. Dervaric, I was referring to whole idea of what you and your dad are doing for service persons by sending them CBGs. That's the thing I wish I had thought of to do. Y'all are AWESOME to the N'th.

Henry, I guess form reading yours and T's page you lost contact with him too. Hope he just dosen't have use of a p.c. right now. If you hear from him please let me know.
been trying to send you my address, but can't get it to send. i'll try another way, or if you can email me your email address I can send it there... thank, T
I just happened back on your kind comment on my Highway 61 Blues song. Hey, sir. Take a crack at it. I would love to hear you do it maybe with Ms Ashley on percussion or helping in some fashion.
Hi Henry, The scale is a matter of preference. A short scale, 13-15 inches will give you a mandolin sound, the longer scales will change the tunings lower and lower, according to where you want your range to be, that is, a guitar is usually between 24-27 inches, a bass can be from 30-41 inches. You will have to use the appropriate gauge string for the scale length. Clear?
