  As a first-time builder, I can't tell you how humbling it is seeing your guitars. The tone and sustain is incredible. I'm almost done with my first build, which was probably a bit ambitious for my first one. The guitar itself wasn't terribly difficult, but the electronics are taking a bit of time. Piezo bridge with a single-coil neck pickup. It has a blend circuit that amplifies the piezo and allows a mix of piezo and magnetic. Still tweaking the circuit, but it works.

   

  I wish I had read your Advanced Cigar Box Guitar Construction document before I had started, but hindsight and all.

   

  I particularly like the guitar that you have on your website that you made for Mojo Perry. The combination of the box and the Harrison pickups just goes, if you know what I'm saying.

   

  Hopefully, building won't turn into a burden. It would be a shame for someone with your talents to give it up.

  Hi josh
  I ordered a guitar from you sometime months back but haven't heard anything recently. Is it still happening? Can you let me what's going on?

  Hi Josh,
  Hope all is well with you. We have not touched base in a while - was wondering whether you were still interested in working with us. Hope to hear from you soon!
  Best, Deb from Raising The Blues.

  Hello!  I LOVE YOUR GUITARS!!!! My name is Kevin M. Kraft, founder of the annual Kansas City Cigar Box Guitar Festival. This year's event will take place on August 26th, and once again I am accepting cigar box guitars and cigar box guitar-related donation, which will be raffled off during the festival, the proceeds to benefit Kansas City's Blues in the Schools program. If you have a guitar, accessory, CD, DVD--anything related to cigar box guitars that you would like to donate, please contact me at the Cigar Box Nation or email me at kevinmkraft@juno.com  to learn where to send it.

   

  Thanks for you time and consideration.

   

  - Kevin

  I read your blog, and I totally understand where you are coming from. I am glad you are getting things under control. Not to compare my situation yours, but I constantly find myself saying, "I want to build because I want to build, not because I have to build".

   

  Good luck!

  Thanks for the advice on rounding the neck. Also, thanks for the advanced build file you put on the site. I downloaded it a couple of months back and am shelving it until I feel I can accomplish at least some of techniques. I'm sure I'm not the only one who appreciates it.

  Josh, thanks for coming out last night. I would love to check out your shop sometime in the near future. Hopefully you can make up to Hacienda Heights on April 30th.

  You can download The Budrows eight song demo CD here, for FREEEEE.

  hopefully talk to you soon about a show in Temecula or otherwise,

  Jason.

  Hey Josh I uploaded the four songs from Saturday. I recorded them on my computer so it didn't do the guitars justice because of the angle that the mic was in relation to the amps but I had such a good time jammin' I thought I'd put them up.
