How did you learn about Cigar Box Nation?

I think it was when I was looking at Chris' Ellbogen Guitars

How many instruments have you built so far?

three Eddie Van Halen tribute guitars, just starting CBGs

What do you find most interesting about cigar box guitars? (If you do not enter something meaningful here (at least one sentence long), your membership may be rejected as a spam/bot fake account).

I've been reading Gregg Allman's "My Cross to Bear" written with Alan Light. I'm simply blown away by Duane Allman's slide in a Statesboro Blues with his take on Taj Mahal's slide work. I'm a disabled Veteran with severe PTSD from 21 yrs military service. I've found more connection with slide then playing traditional guitar progressions. I get a connection from slide to the guitar I'm playing. I wanted to feel that through a CBG and start putting my own together to share with others who may not have the opportunity to enjoy a CBG of their own. I give away a lot of guitars, but I still have around 23 various ones with a couple setup for Open tuning.
