Hello to all....I have heard alot about Cigar Box Nation on Youtube comment boards. I have been building cbg's for a year now and have my first festival to attend in Dec. 4 Arnaudville "Fire and Water Fest." and am looking forward to any advice from any more experienced builders. I have been a carpenter all my life so that helps. I have build 15 cbgs, so far mostly 4 strings, a couple of 3 strings and one six string strat type one that took forever to build. They all are fretted and play well. I will begin selling them as of this Dec. 4, 2009. Note. The first time I took my CBG out to the local open mic. night I was heard by the local radio station and I had my own one hour interview the very next week on our local radio station. These things are nothing but fun and I really really like the no real rules aspect of cbg making. My only rule is that it has to play and sound good or its just a wall hanger, just as soon keep it at home.
Peace, from where the Bayous Cross.
