How did you learn about Cigar Box Nation?

http://salvagesounds.co.uk/

How many instruments have you built so far?

I was co-owner of the very small Van Guitar System company (later Ivan Guitars). Our instruments were traditional designs, but made with fiberglass / carbon fiber and resins. Zero cigar box guitars so far

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

In my old age I discovered that my destiny is not to build instruments that sound and look similar to millions of others. So far I've made about 150 guitar pickups using very unusual technology (no bobbins, no wax, no paraffin.... but I realized that I was limited by the standard dimensions of covers. Doing traditional guitars I was limited to many rules all the time. I'm very analog. Tubes, tapes, vinyl. No presets. I'm not a fan of the digital world, although I do use it
