I my name is Chris from Illinois here.I joined cigar box nation a week or so ago and thought I better make a post and intro myself. what a great place to be there is so much info and great people here and some awesome and unique homemade instraments.i m new to the cbg community,I first saw one that a guy that I work with built.He has built several and although I don't play so well right now but I decided to get one from him because I thought it was so cool.I then decided to try to make one myself and learn how to play.this is the first one that be built a few weeks ago and decided to share with all of you.I learned alot from this one and already started on others.hope you like it and give me your thoughts and feedback.thanks
Hahaha (hellboy) hello Andy I'm about 2 hours away from galesburg just outside of Springfield I'd say about 15 minutes west of Springfield thanks for commenting guys I appreciate it ) I look forward to getting to know you guys more
Hey hey Bobby yeah this site is most def pretty cool and the teasing and messing around i get a kick out of it lol toooo funny.thanks for commenting on the guitar I'll be posting others soon maybe on my profile or albums for people to see hopefully I can figure that out haha.
I've been looking at other peoples builds and stuff a lot of awesome crearions.i look forward to seeing some of your builds.still finding my way around here lol.
Thanks Dave yes I really like how those pickups sound as well, ts sounds pretty good in that guitar . I'll be experimenting with other types to but I do like those pickups. Those pics aren't to good because I took them from my phone lol I'll try to get better pics as I build more and get others done )
Nice that's a good idea .. I'm going to keep a record as well, so I can look back and watch the progress as we build more.I used my android to take those pics,but didn't go to well plus I'm not to techy lol but planning to use a better camera as i go on.id like to see some of your builds )
Wondered why your bridge was angled in the wrong direction and thought that you must have some intonation issues with it like that. Then I noticed that there wasn't any frets on your git, so it doesn't really matter.

That's a really nice looking CBG, especially for your first.
I can't wait to see what you have in store next.
Hi Chris! That's a good-lookin' first build! I'm in Illinois too! I live in Galesburg. Are you anywhere near me? So, I guess you're "Hellboy"! LOL!!
