  Hi, I'm Philippe, I live in the north of France, I'm 55 years old and passionate about making cigar box guitars. Glad to have found a forum talking about this discipline, I wish you all hello. Using Google to translate my writings, I ask you to be lenient on approximate grammar or syntax.

  Okay,here goes.I was asked to make a one string bass guitar for someone with a severe head trauma that limits motor skills. Using the lowest string for a 5 String bass set.then tuned to a C. 34 in scale. 20 frets. Poplar base 2.5 inches wide, 38in long. ,then I glue a 24 in neck, with a 1/4in fingerboard with 20 frets. Any input would be appreciated as I am clueless when it comes to bass guitars

  Mike, here from Hiram, Georgia, which is between Atlanta and the Alabama state line. I've been aware of cigar box guitars, but never had heard one until I was at the Foxfire Mountaineer Festival in the northeast corner of Georgia this past weekend. LEs Barnett had a booth at the festival and was playing a 3-string electric! Fantastic sound! Now I'm hooked!
  
  I built a Mountain Dulcimer and I've built a 5-string banjo using a hand drum as the pot. This was the first time I've done the fretting and it turned out pretty good! I figure the CBG will be an easier build!

  Stan in Escondido. I tinkered with some banjo, violin and guitar repairs and setup details and found a nice cherry board in my rafters as I was recovering from a health adventure. In tribute to modern medicine, I'm in my shop with a scarfed neck and a new reason to re-enter my old cigar haunts. I bought an amp at Goodwill and anticipate loud noises. This replaces my Ducati addiction. I hope.
