Profile Information

How did you learn about Cigar Box Nation?: Just searching the Web about guitar stuff and clicked on it.

How many instruments have you built so far?: 14 Guitar, 1 violin, 2 ukulele, 1 strum stick

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).: I love to build them. They are incredibly versatile and the sound is sometimes amazing. It is fun to build both rustic and fancy looking cbg's. It is always fun to show someone new, what looks to be something clunky and then blow them away with some gritty slide, or play something very pretty like Amazing Grace. Folks are always amazed. I like the fact there isn't much for rules...It has turned into a wonderful hobby/passion.
