New builder here

Posted by Andy Eight Spades CBG on May 18, 2011 at 1:17am in Building Secrets, Tips, Advice, Discussion

Hey everyone!  I found out about cigar box guitars for the first time about three weeks ago from my guitarist in my band(I just sing) and I think I've been bit pretty hard by the CBG bug.  I've bought some tools on the cheap, converted a room to a little work shop and can't stop thinking about building!!!! 

 

I need sleep!

 

I've done two builds already and am working on getting to some more complicated builds with frets and maybe a resonator in the near future.  I want to thank everyone on this site because even though i haven't posted or anything the people here have helped me in so many ways.  I'm sure I will have questions and maybe even be able to help out here and there.  Here's some pics of my two builds.

    Very nice!  I like your headstock detail!

    They are both electric.....I stayed up for two days straight to figure out how to do that.  And thanks!

    That's impressive. Any amplification, or is it strictly acoustic?
