A quick CBGitty shout out!

I have to say, I'm seriously amazed at their service, I was watching live for the first time the Gitty Gang Show, and multi tasked in another open window on my computer, placed an order for some frets, trunk corners and a fret board decal, and before I was done watching the show, I heard my email alert go off, my order had been shipped already, I figured nahhhhh- they just printed up a label for when they ship it, nope, within the hour after the show it was already tracking, it will be in my…

St. Louis CBG Club T-Shirt Logo

We held a drawing contest for the clubs logo for 2017-2018 and there were 12 entry's out of which Anonymous pick's entry won. Pretty cool having someone that far away join us down here in the Gateway. I am not ashamed to say I celebrated with an order of smoke rib tips coated in a Cajun glaze over fried rice. …

Amazing Grace

So, after a friend of mine sadly passed away I recorded a version of Amazing Grace on my Reso-CBG.

At first I kept it private, and only shared it with a handful of friends we had in common. Now, shortly after my late friend's birthday, the first on which I could not congratulate him, I decided to make it more accessible, in tribute to Duncan.

I believe it is a nice piece for a CBG, and Duncan would have laughed and politely said "not bad, eyh".

Edit: Here's the…

CBG for my brother

Well, my brother's #CigarBoxGuitare #Honher (diatonic accordion case) ends! More than a few things to do like markers for notes and make a cheap strap.

In any case, it has a great sound of death that kills both in clear sound and in angry distortion mode, and quite simple to use because although he's a famous guitarist, going from his #Ibanez 7 strings to the CGB 3 strings, it's going to make him weird! ^^ ^^

I also preferred not to fix the saddle nut (which is actually a piece of…

Getting Close but man it's tough in HCMC

It's proving very expensive to build cbgs in Veitnam. I can't find any cigar retailer who will negotiate on boxes. Getting a tool isn't just a matter of running down to your big box home store - every type of retail business here seems to congregate to the same zone or street (need a tool, go to tool street), and there's the language barrier and the buying of counterfeit tools.



I need a damn drill of my own. Went to Saigon MakerSpace the other day and was sorely disappointed -…
