Still have quite a few left. Sent one lot to South Australia, postage came to $38. Prices range from $5 to $20. Just want to recover what I spent on them.

Send me an email Glenn to: devilguitarstas@gmail.com

and  may be we can work something out.

I'm in Tassie.

Cheers

Bruce

Hi Glenn, I've never built with a real cigar box, pity l don't live in Melbourne. Taff

And some more. (see my earlier Comment) The book-look boxes make great gats. Bill Bailey has two of mine built on those and they rock. Some good wooden Cohiba etc. A clock that really needs to be a guitar. A choc chip cookie tin. A cone out of a resonator uke.

Hey Melbourne people! I have a stack of great boxes for sale. Too busy to build these days and someone should get the use of them. Just need to recover what I spent.

I was a member of the Aussie CBG site as well but it looks like the owner didnt pay for the web hosting service and it has been closed. Tis a real pity because there was some great info and pics and videos on their.

I've recently moved back to Sydney from a few years overseas. When I left Australia there was an Aussie CBG site, I think run my Paul Thorley, which I was a member of. I can't seem to find it anymore - does it still exist, and if so what is it called?

Hi all, I'm not sure if i'm doing this correctly, seems all forums have a different way of posting stuff. Anyway......

This is the finished version of a CBG I posted earlier. After finding the customer through this forum and discussing things a bit more. It's actually a 4 String but he wants it strung as a three stringer at the moment. Looks like I can only post one picture Hmmmm, so that's it. Cheers Taff

Hi, I just stumbled on the little icon thingy at the top off the page and find some of my contributions are already here, so seems I'm already a member. Cheers Taff
