Lately, I.ve run into diatonic, pentatonic, fretting with only about 8 fretts, like a dulcimer. In one, the guy had it his 3 strings tuned in such a way as to make playing blues like falling off a log. I think Justin Johnson had one. Problem is, I can never find them on line again. Wish I could be more help. What is a good size router bit for shaping the back of necks? I just bought nice router. Hmm, now what?? good talking to you, sorry I couldn't be more help. I go into computer stores and they look at me and say, "what's the point." Gordon

At 10:28pm on March 9, 2014, Richey Kay said…: Definitely not your fault mate. Postie put a missed delivery slip through the door without bothering to knock. Then when I tried to collect it from the post office they looked for 20 minutes then said they'd lost it. Then after I rode to work they called to say they'd found it...

At 10:08pm on March 9, 2014, Richey Kay said…: Hi John, after a bit of a nightmare with the Post Office (long story) I finally received the fretboard blanks from you this morning. They're wonderful, thanks very much! Cheers for the offcuts too!

yes I still need one, but most of the ones i've seen are for full sized resonators, and are too long. I only need a max of 3ins long , which was about the size of the USA one I commented on.

Regards SJ

This year's event will take place on August 26th, and once again I am accepting cigar box guitars and cigar box guitar-related donation, which will be raffled off during the festival, the proceeds to benefit Kansas City's Blues in the Schools program. If you have a guitar, accessory, CD, DVD--anything related to cigar box guitars that you would like to donate, please contact me at the Cigar Box Nation or email me at kevinmkraft@juno.com to learn where to send it.

Thanks for you time and consideration.
