What a cool site! Just recently wanting to get back into music, long after I sold off all my instruments of course. That's OK, 'cause I can't do anything the same way as anyone else. That's why I'm here! Plus an old injury makes playing a "normal" guitar kind of tough for me, so I figured less strings would be a bit easier. I can't afford a tenor guitar and through a few google search, I found Cigar Box Nation! I had a Royal Jamaica cigar box in my closet with some old odds-n-sods, plus some guitar parts (real Schaller tuners!), so as soon as I'm finished with the wrought-iron pieces I'm making for a friend, I'm starting on my first "official" CBG. I say "official" because I'm hoping this one will make better sounds than the rubber-band strung "thing" I made for a Cub Scout project some 30 years ago.

Failte! I hope this obsession is a happy and healthy one for you. The Nation is here for you if you have any questions or royally screw up something (as I have). Happy buildin' and strummin'.
