Brian, I looked through your photos for an example where you used molding for a fretboard, but couldn’t find one. I did note the use of toothpick frets, good on you! Doug
Thank you Brian. I just picked up a few cigar boxes in the Beale St. Blues district in Memphis TN. They weren't aware of any cigarbox guitar festivals in or around Beale St. Do you know of any in the Memphis, TN area?
I had some extra material on my neck, I was going to cut it off, but thought I could do something ornate with it, I'm going to make a peg wall hanger for It, and try a strap with it also. Thanks for taking an interest in it. Its my first fretted instrument, I learned a lot along the way,
thanks much, glad to be here. site has amazing amount of content and very active/up to date. I plan on spending a fair bit of time just learning what's available.
Thank you for your comment, looking forward to being part of a community that I share the same interest in

Brian,
Thanks for the welcome. The website is great! I love all the resources. I've already learned quite a bit without building a thing. The 2x4 lap steel appears easy. I'll have to try it first. - Brent McNabb BME
