Comment by Blues Frog on March 23, 2019 at 7:46pm: Welcome to the addiction Bill. Questions aren't a nuisance, they are a part of what we all do here. There's a lot of instruction from building to playing on this site. I think you'll like it here.

Enjoy !!

Comment by Bill Weissborn on March 23, 2019 at 7:08pm: BRAND New to this whole cigar-box guitar, 1,2,3,4 string(s) guitar.

Been fascinated by these instruments for several years but just haven't had the time to give it a try. That's fixing to change. In fact, just bought 4 boxes today from the local Goodwill to experiment on. If I'm pestering ya'll too much with questions, just let me know.

I'm stoked!

OH, and I don't play--yet.!
