Welcome, BrianPearse (BeeP)!

Profile Information

How did you learn about Cigar Box Nation?: Via Google after watching 'Seasick Steve' on TV

How many instruments have you built so far?: Over 20 + 1 banjo and two fiddles … is all I'm admitting to!

What do you find most interesting about cigar box guitars? (If you do not enter something meaningful here, your membership may be rejected).: They're all different, their design can be as artistic or as basic as you wish. Just like folk!
