Builder alert! A Servicemember/Nationmember who is serving overseas is looking for an instrument play and cherish while far from home!
Stephen in Kandahar, looking for a 3, 4 or 6 string:

Who can step up? I bet you have one in your stash that would certainly get played a whole lot more if you mailed it to Afghanistan! Or you could build him something special!
And really, there is always a servicemember in need of a guitar. Please keep an eye on the CBGs for Servicemembers group, join and help one of these guys and gals out when they post a request.

( A crude estimate is that the Nation has sent more than 75 instruments overseas since this group began! We get a new request about once a week, so you have plenty of opportunities to help out in the future, too!)

Thanks, Wes! We will watch for a new request, and keep you posted.
Many thanks to the members of the Nation who have offered to help out! Stephen is "spoken for", but a new request will come along soon -- especially if a Servicemember has stumbled across one of these great instruments already! Word lately seems to be spreading by contagion lately -- if you see one and hear you, you get a hankering!
Check back often in the group http://www.cigarboxnation.com/group/cbgsforsoldiers and see who has requested an instrument. Offer up a build you have completed, or your services to build a custom job. Get the shipping address of your servicemember via personal message (don't want to post personal stuff here on a public forum). Pack it up and send it off!
Again, thanks for contributing to this effort! No one off fighting for their country should want for music!
