  • hey Don thanks for your friend request, you are welcome in my house blues

  • Thanks for friending Don :-)

  • Thank you Don for your friendship. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance. Enjoy.

  • Hi Don.

    I took part in the Skype conference call last Sunday. During that call there was a mention of a slim pickup that looks like this.

    I wrote down the name so that I wouldn't forget it. Unfortunately I didn't write down where I was going to put the piece of paper with the name on. Do you remember what this is called?

    All the best.

  • Thanks for friending me... looking for to working with you on soldier build... Sam
  • Thank you Don. I appreciate your encouragement. Yes, you certainly have to dig a lot of holes until you finally find the Gold. Enjoy, Keni Lee
  • Thank you Don for your response. I can sypathise with everything you said. I am fortune to have a good friend who is a professional builder and he performs restorations relatively cheaply. He recently moved out of state so I am getting out of the buy, restore, sell market.
    I did quite well over the years buying old 1930 Stella, but recently I bought an expensive wallhanger. Yikes!
    Restoring Is really is a labor of love that can be a money pit.
    You can find them cheap and may have the smarts to restore, but like you said, buying sight unseen is a shot in the dark.
    I just thought I would post some finds from time to time. Maybe to stimulate builder's imaginations or help them find a treasure worth bringing back from the brink of death. Parts may be useful. Patterns can be made. Etc.
    I just have a romantic love affair with old guitars. They may have issues just like old people, but I love them just the same. Something about holding the same guitar, that was played in the period is very empowering. Having said that, a brand new guitar is great too, just like a hot knife cutting through cold butter.
    Thanks again for sharing. Enjoy, Keni Lee
  • just listened, man it just sounds great!!
  • Welcome aboard, Don! You will find lots of helpful folks and information here on all things CBG (CBU, CBB, etc.) Feel free to poke around, ask questions, and post your stuff (photos, recordings, videos, etc.).

    Up in the Free Resources menu at the top, you will see a number of plans for building and playing cigar box guitars/ukuleles/banjos/dulcimers/violins. I encourage you to download any of the plans, take a look at them, and ask questions from there. Also our site is VERY searchable. I bet you your questions have already been asked, so take a few moments and look around.

    Join our Chat sometime (see the bar at the bottom of your browser page). Keep in mind that tho the chat window says there are X number of people online, not all may have the chat window up.

    Most of all, have fun!

    -Wes
