First build for my step son

Ok fellow cbg people! Here we have Dustin's very first cigar box guitar. It features a Camacho cigar box with an oak neck. The fretboard is curly maple with walnut fret markers. It is an acoustic 3 stringer and has a bone nut and an adjustable hard-tail bridge. She's tuned to open G and ready for someone to play some foot stomp'n blues on it.
