How did you learn about Cigar Box Nation?: I heard about it while googling for CBGs

How many instruments have you built so far?: 10

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).: The simplicity of the instrument and the different but great results you can get playing it.
Also I think it is a great thing beeing able building your own instruments.
