    I love your Resonator CBG. I will have to get a cone like that for my next build. Thanks for the pictures Jim.

    Thanks Diane - You can hear it played in Keni Lee's video "the art of cigar box guitar" and on "little red rooster" (as well as one of Darren's fine builds). I used a Davidoff cigar box, stained it first and used spray paint to get the old sunburst look. I also used white and black binding (like you would find on an acoustic guitar). I wanted to make this instrument look old so it has a few scratches and dents here and there...

    That is really beautiful! Superb art direction, and I'm sure it plays like a dream.
