I have been building guitars for 3 years now and have benefited from all the knowledge shared here and elsewhere on the web. I still can't get over how unlike most other special-interest forums Cigar Box Nation is.
Since I am not working full time at the moment and I'm half-time getting my Masters degree so I can teach high school chemistry next fall, I started up my guitar building as a small business. Last weekend I set up a website at…

If anyone is interested in the nylon-strung three string guitar I now have the construction print available at my website. I've also added 40 photos of the building process and I'll be adding verbiage as time permits. At least I've got it up!
