A commission for a customer. When she saw the red box, she said “that’s the one!” All components except the sound hole inserts and the flourocarbon fishing line strings are pictured.

That’s the goal Kale! Most people don’t realize how easy it is to be having fun making music. I’m pretty excited about this new design.

Very nice. Making CBGs even more accessible to the masses.

Thanks John! The “Chugger” has become my ‘go to’ CBG these days. And they get others off to a good start making music in the 1-finger style.

I love it...chug with Doug!

That is the intention BrianQ! It is a pretty straight forward build. I finally worked out a deal with the local community college to incorporate a kit into my Intro to Cigar Box Guitars class for the Seniors Program. I have a class slated for the Fall Quarter. All that is missing from the picture is the Flourocarbon fishing line strings and the sound hole inserts. My goal is an inexpensive, easy to play guitar to get people in the game and, ideally chug with Doug!

That would be an awesome kit!!! Call it the Doug-Chugger :)
