New to the CBN forum and CBG's so hope this post is in the right place! Retired recently so thought I'd make a dream come true and bought a Tele to play some blues. Silly me! Should have delved deeper to find that 'my' sound comes from a slide CBG. Darling wife has played Father Xmas so a three-string is on it's way as I speak. Hope to learn a lot from you chaps out there!
Meanwhile, a very merry Xmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year to all.

Thanks Robert and Bristol Blue for the welcome. Sitting here looking at a 'sorry you were not in' note from UPS which I assume was my cigar box guitar so should be here today! Can't wait! CBN and the links it contains look excellent so no excuses now; need to learn some delta blues. Looking to build one of my own in the spring so playing and looking at how they are put together should keep me occupied over the winter! Hope everyone on CBN has a great Xmas and New Year.

Welcome Dave !! Only just became a member of Cigar box nation recently, cus never owned a computer before ! I play a Tele too , not profesionally, just at home for fun . Unlike some regular guitar websites, you will find CBN totally non-elite- ist and will find friendly support & encouragement from all ! I'm planning my 1st build soon using a box that housed a gauge block set and some old broken guitar parts. Remember there are no rules : the other 14,999 eccentric music manglers can't be wrong lol !  Have fun & a very Merry Xmas .

Welcome, Dave!
Enjoy your CBG. And a Merry Christmas to you as well!

Thanks Sparky37. Plan is to finally play some music on the cigar box which will help me on the Tele! Just worried that I might not pick up the Tele again! Also want to build my own cbg later but, at the moment, dying to actually coax a recognisable tune from a guitar!

Nice that the wife is getting you a cigar box guitar for Christmas you will really enjoy it. but I really hope that that you will be starting your own cigar box guitar build soon, there is nothing like building your own! Ether way, we of guitar box nation are willing to help in any way we can, and welcome to the club.

Merry Christmas and very happy new year
