hi all , newbie here from the UK , been thinkin about building a CBG , been Googling looking for info and happened across this place so I thought I'd join up , I've made a couple of simple diddley bows in the past but i want to move on to a cigar box one when I find a box that takes my fancy ( got my eye on a few on the bay ) then move on to a 3 string and from there who knows . I help out a friend of mine with his carpentry and woodturning buisness from time to time so I have access to a fully kitted out workshop and he's built a few guitars in the past so he has a bit of knowledge in this area I can tap into . as for playing I have had a go at the guitar with limited success so I switched to bass , much more my thing , never played in a band or anything like that but used to do jam nights at the local pub and stuff like that , but haven't played in maybe 10 years .
You need to be a member of Cigar Box Nation to add comments!
