"Order99 (what does that mean)"
My first time Online was attempting to play Warcraft II (Windows 98) and I needed a Handle to sign in for the first time. Sadly I found out that Agent86 (which fit my lack of 'LEET SKILLZ' at the time) was already taken-so I typed in the next thing I free-associated...
Much later, I met and challenged Agent86 to a game-we both agreed that the handle would have suited me MUCH better than her after she crushed me effortlessly 10 games out of 10, heh heh...that was in 2001 and I never saw the need to change it.
I have lookt it over, (now i know who does those basic tuners,thanks for that) and i must agree he is a great top ten candidate ! sounding good looking good , whit basic and practical for everybody global wide accesseble building materials ,so i agree whit you Order99 (what does that mean) that Uncle Crow hase a fine Basic build ! if it is the most Basic build i dont know?
I honestly believe that Uncle Crow has the most Basic builds I have seen on the site:
https://cigarboxnation.com/forum/topics/easy-to-build-cigar-box-gui...
I fact, his 'Wingnut' tuners seem even easier than the old Peg-head builds!
Thanks Wayfinder, Yep! That'l bee pretty Basic! Natural Glue Fish Glue, on paper maybee but on a CB Git? If you say so, i am whit you on the dowels, hard wood, china,or spanisch style, NO FRETS, the wire cuts it as well, so you go for the none Pick up, well if your out in the Swamp, or the Mountains that and a Jack and electrical wire ar out to ,yep if you need the Strap for standup playing, braided beard Hair, must bee the thing, a horse tail will do to cant miss the belt, not the necktie, need that for sundays, maybee rope, yessirree Whittlin knife, or any other metal, but teeth only if you have them Us Hillbilly boys are not allways gifted whit the Pearly's ,fingernails whe got twenty of them, keeps us going awhile, Thanks there Ye Wayfinder for your kind input there, whoed surely love to see yours on a picture ,when you get it ready !!!

(Thanks to U John& Paddy)
Just seen a ad by HOBO KING CBG, THESE are I think verry Basic CBG Blues Boxes ,the only compromise thats made are the tuners. They look verry basic but sound like the real thing. Is the surprise in the customised doorbel Pie'zo, or the amps; in the End the hole set-up CBG -Electrification- Amplification, will make or brake the perseption of what is a real Basic Cigar Box Guitar. Thanks Every one Who contributed to this Blog ,and i end saying May the real Basic Sigar Box Guitar bee Discoved !
It aint no Gourd ,But i got a Cat Headstock on my new Oakwood build,mark!!! its Not ready yet !!
You can make a CBG with cat $4i£ ? !!
