#1 resource for Cigar Box Guitars, Free Plans, How-To, Parts & More!

Didn't know I could do it

Saw an article on CBGs about 2 months ago and became instantly addicted. I've always been a mediocre guitar player because it was just something I did when I had the time and I was ok with that. Built my first CBG 6 weeks ago just to see if I could, and I couldn't put it down. Built 10 more since and hoping to spend my winter cranking em out. Driving my wife nuts, but I'm having a blast!

Thanks a lot! Part of what I love about this stuff is how helpful and encouraging everyone has been. Seems everyone wants to share knowledge, experience and brag a little.

I'll fit right in ;)

Nice looking builds.

Look at this way, you can continue having fun, or you can sit around and let her drive you crazy.Hahaha

I try to keep a balance between both. If she's going to complain I'd rather it be about something I'm actually doing ;)

I play the CBGs more than I play my guitars. Maybe it's because I'm also a mediocre guitar player, or maybe it's just part of the addiction.

Either way, I'm playin.

Welcome to the Nation.

You should try to play many types of instruments, find what you have a talent for and what inspires you to be better for the other instruments in time.

Started on Guitar, moved on to Bongos, Dulcimer, Bass and now CBG.

Brilliant, Jason! Beautiful work.

I'm also new to this. Was never a guitar player, but am committed to playing these well. Have built two - lunchbox and a Christmas tin. I'll get around to a cigar box one of these days.

Cheers!
Robert
