Comment by John Czarnecki on October 2, 2018 at 5:35pm: New to Cigar Box Nation. Been building for about six months now, and am nearly completed with guitar # 7.

Here's a shot of #1, a cigar box with a 36 Connecticut license plate, walnut neck, and piezos under the bridge and behind the plate. Sounds good. Now in the hands of my wingman from 2003 Iraq.

Comment by Brian Revels on June 25, 2014 at 9:48pm: Fellow Carolinians... I have got a big problem with my first build. I keep coming back to it, thinking I can fix it (but only make it worse). Anyone here know a thing or two more than me live in, or close to Gastonia who might be willing to take a look and tell me what I am doing wrong?

Here's the low down in a discussion I posted this morning...http://www.cigarboxnation.com/group/class101/forum/topics/somewhat-.... I seriously don't think it's my fret spacing and has to be something else.

Comment by Randall Tyson on October 23, 2013 at 5:36pm: Hello all,

Glad to join Tarheel CGB. Just beginning to learn how make and how to play the CBG.

Comment by Chris Bennett on October 22, 2013 at 10:45am: Vic, what do you do with sleepy hollow? I've watched the filming a little. I'm not tall and thin, so won't be acting! Those CBG's are by Black Owl guitars. Nice gittys and a good guy too. Helpful with info and encouragement.
