How did you learn about Cigar Box Nation?: cbgitty.com

How many instruments have you built so far?: 4

What do you find most interesting about cigar box guitars? (If you do not enter something meaningful here (at least one sentence long), your membership may be rejected as a spam/bot fake account).: these guitars have totally changed my approach to playing. I've been playing 6 string for years. but the thought process to
transcribe the music from 6 string guitar to a four string CBG has made me a much better musician . each guitar I build is a learning process. even if I only learn what not to do on the next build. on my latest build I made the neck and fret board from scratch. I used the cb gitty fret board template and miter box
and was surprised at how easy fretting a cgb can be . the feeling of pride I get when I finish one of these guitars is beyond description . I never thought I could build an instrument from scratch . but now with some imagination anything is possable
