Servicemembers overseas continue to catch the CBG bug!

Just now on the CBGs for Servicemembers forum (http://www.cigarboxnation.com/group/cbgsforsoldiers) there are a good handful of military folks who've posted a request for an instrument.

So please take a moment to visit the group page and then see if there isn't a guitar in your stash or on your workbench that you could pop into a box and mail off to someone who will reeeeeeealy appreciate it.

Thanks, and keep on building!

As of this moment, there are 6 service members who would love to have a builder make one for them.

Thanks so much to everyone who has participated, our service members truly appreciate it.

Dan, how are we coming along?

(For the record, Dan builds 'n' sends pretty regularly. I have not in a while but I will again, once my woodshop reopens. And it a great feeling to send one out to these men and women!)

As of this moment, we have 5 or 6 service members waiting. I have a couple of customer builds I need to finish before I can take on any of them. Gotta sell some so I can afford to buy the parts for the service member instruments.
