I don't know if you'll ever read this or not, but I own two of your dvd's about building, purchased a few years ago. I found them to be very helpful, even if I never told ya before. Truly - Thank you.
Hey bill thanks a lot for the kind words. I haven't posted in a while but i have been hard at work making and selling some guitars. hopefully i can get some time to post some more build pics and tips. I am absolutely hooked on making instruments. look for my guord ukelele in the future. Maybe I'll see you in York if i can make it.....Mike G.
I am new to the CBG revolution so I really don't know if we have any shows in Atlanta or not. Mike Snowden is the only person I know of performing on a regular basis. Check him out at snowdenguitars.com I know he will be happy to hear that you liked his work.
Hi Bill, I just watched How to build a Cigar Box Guitar and was really impressed with the amount of information that you put in the video! It was really well done and it was some of the best money that I spent on Ebay re CBGs! Thanks so much! Best, Lana
Just wanted to let you know I bought one of your DVD's a while back. It was great. So now I hold you personally responsible for this new addiction and all the fun I am having building these things. Thanks for making the DVD!
Tim

Hello,
I have started a CBN group entitled, "How to Play CBG" It is my hope and intention to encourage the "Wealth of Talent" here on the Nation to share their knowledge and skill to further the CBG movement. Please consider contributing an instructional "video" link to this group. If you are a viewer seeking instruction, please feel free to write. If you have any suggestions or know other players who you think may want to post instructional "video" links, please contact me. Thank you for your interest and support, Keni Lee
sorry bout the mistake i meant hamhock about the banjoneck cbg,s.just stopped by to ask what you thought of those i am building and would you like one that i built,it would be a gift of course because you created an inspiration to awe the builders like myself.
i just stopped by to tell you that the old banjo neck cbg you built that hambone has is the most awesome looking cbg i have seen,so now i,m hooked. thanks for the inspiration bill jehle,i spent most of my life making old furniture look new but in the last couple of years i was in texas just recently i spent a year and a half making new furniture look old.ha ha that was a new twist that i would apply to guitar design. i likes me some old looking guitars especially cigarbox guitars.
Hey Bill! Thanks for your help! Glad Brian Calvert sent me to you. We'll have to get him to help promote this on Project Guitar. You and Brian are two cool men, and I'm glad to know you both!
I really hate the word "widget." The original widget was a shaver designed for women's legs. When it was found that it was better suited to scrape paint off a wall because it tended to do the same sort of thing with the skin on the leg, it was remarketed for that purpose. The widget still exists today, but you know it as those flat razor paint scrapers. They are also quite handy for cleaning out iron skillets.
This video is the unboxing and the demonstration of a beautiful, six stringer built by Louie Lamanna. Join Louie and I June 15 at the second annual Pittsburg...
