Newbie From Florida

Greetings All. I am a 61 year old who has noodled on 6 strings and just learned about cigar box guitars. I am ready to learn from all of you and one day I hope to pass on your wisdom to others. Jim

  • Welcome Jim!

    • Thank you Metal hic.
  • Welcome. Spent my summers in Florida when I was a kid in Orlando, Miami, FT. Lauderdale, Daytona and Lake Okeechobee.

    • Paul... you need to return. Lake Okeechobee has not changed much but you would recognize your other summer retreats.
    • Ah yes, Lake Okeechobee on summer evening. It certainly creates a unique tang in the air lol.  I lived in Florida for ten years back in the 80's and early 90's.

  • Hi Jim, greetings back at you from The Netherlands.  I'm also new to this game.  Been at it since October of last year.  I wish I'd discovered the 3 string CBG years ago.  It's an absolute blast.  I'm in the process of making a new tin box 3 string CBG from a Jack Daniels 150 year commemorative box. I'm really enjoying this too. I'm electrifying it with a Snake Oil mini humbucker pickup.  I've a red oak neck that's nicely scarf jointed and ready for finishing.  I need to ebonize the fret board before setting the frets. It's then a question of putting it all together.  I'm really looking forward to playing this thing.  The wife thinks I'm nuts.

  • Welcome, Jim!  Another 61 year old 6-string man here.  Have fun!

    • Thank you Andy.
