Hi All,

Im very new to all of this, Ive built two cigar box guitars so far.

1 x 3 string slide and a 4 string tenor with great success.

Think im hooked!

 

The problem I am having now is sourcing wooden cigar boxes.....

could anybody give me some ideas were I can get a supply at reasonable costs?

I'm in the UK so P&P costs are an issue....

Im also happy to trade....Im a photographer with a website maybe you may like some of my work?

I have a guitar strap that was owned by Steve howe from the band "YES"................I dont know....?

Hi Don Very nice!! thank you for sending those, Who knows what it could be worth! I was hoping for around £80-£100?. make me an offer and we can go from there, only interested in box's suitable for CBG but saying that I wouldnt mind an ACID box included .I will of course take into account your postal costs to the UK in the deal.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Sorry, forgot to say this was owned by Steve Howe himself.

Many years ago I worked in a waste disposal site for household waste. Steve was a regular customer,I used to chat to him from time to time.

One day he came in with a few bags of rubbish to dispose of..when he left I dived into the skip, ripped open the bags and pulled this strap out!

So I know it was his........

I'm not sure what the cost of shipping boxes to you would be but I will find out! Do you have a  paypal account? 

Thank you,

Don

Yes I do have paypal account.

Im not sure either of shipping costs.but yes find out if you dont mind.

talk soon.

Thank you

Lhos

I would need your shipping address to get an accurate idea of what it would cost to get some boxes to you.

I have an active ebay account with hundreds of perfect transactions. My FB score is 100% positive.

This is a transaction we can do. I package items to make it to their destinations safely.

Best regards,

Don

Yes I also have 100% Fb on my ebay account for selling and purchasing.

So we both have no issues there.

Can I email you my shipping address?

only I would rather it not up on my cigarbox nation page. lol

Great! That's a confidence builder! We must be signed on as Friends to send messages at your page as soon as you ok it I will PM you with my email address. ( I did include it in the friend request so you may get it anyway)

Thank you

Don
