Well, I’ve been fighting off the pangs of GAS for a while, been jonesing for a Cigar Box Guitar for months now, so when I saw this on ebay priced around 50% the cost of a new one, I put it in my watch list, still dithering about whether to buy it or not. After a few days, the seller sent me an offer that took the price including delivery just under half the new price, and I just hit that Buy Now button! Did I mention that it’s been slightly modded in that it’s an acoustic model that now has a piezo pickup and built-in tuner? Anyone who was watching @Richard_close2u Richard’s Vintage Club session tonight might have seen me rushing to answer the door to the delivery driver to take delivery! But at least I came back and waited for the end of the session before I opened the package! The only thing is, I’ve only recently started playing around with open G so the only tune I can play on it is “Brown Sugar”., which just does not sound right on a CBG - Until you play it through an amp with crunchy settings!
Congratulations, Ian, I expect you’re going to have a load of fun with that!
Good to see you got a 4 string Ian, looks very nice. Picked up a JD Old Brand C’Box last year from Italy but not had much time to exploit ! Have fun, they are cool bits of kit.
Hi Ian,
Happy NGCigarboxD
Have fun with it …
Missed it
Greetings
Happy NGD, Ian ! I have absolutely no idea, how this instrument may sound. So maybe you’re post a little song on your cigar Box, when you’ve got the first songs Under your fingers .
I wish you lots of fun with it .
Happy NGD Ian!
Congratulations on the great buy too!
You did really well on waiting to open the package
Oh, what joy!
Congrats
Happy NGD Ian. That looks like an interesting instrument. Always great to bag a bargain,. I hope you have many years of happiness with it.
