Thank you for your comment. Wearing finger picks and thumb picks not only increase the volume and tone of your guitar, but protect your fingers from blisters. I can dig into the guitar with a lot more force with the picks. At first, they are very difficult to get use to using, but after awhile they are very natural. Enjoy.

Anybody know what cigar box SSS uses, the small black one with his match book collection on the neck and a frying pan slice for a bridge.

Welcome aboard, Alan! You will find lots of helpful folks and information here on all things CBG (CBB, CBU, etc.) Feel free to poke around, ask questions, and post your stuff (photos, recordings, videos, etc.).

Most of all, have fun!

Tres.
