I've been quite busy lately since I took on a challenge of building different stuff for myself and taking a small leap towards making my own stuff - all just for the fun of it. For some reason my friends wanted to have these for themselves so having a hobby that pays for itself is not a bad thing.
I wondered what would be the starting point to make my own guitar and then it hit me when I saw Seasick steve on Youtube. Now I'm hooked on cigar box guitars. I can't really play these but I'm learning as fast as I can (which is veeeery slow...)
Anyway, I've built 5 of these cbg's so far, plus small amps and the one in the lake side photo. The pieces in the Finnish lake side sound amazing by the way - not in my hands but a few of my friends really do them justice.
I could not decide which thread would have been best for this post but here it is anyway. By the way - I'm gonna come back with some Ideas on the Tele bass kit as soon as I decide what I wanna do with it. Some custom modding is needed from the factory but other things are still cooking in my head...
I'll be building that Tele bass together with a cbg, a hub cap guitar, a cajon (or three) and a Tele so will have to decide on the order of things too....
