The beginning of my adventure into the world of Guitars was innocent and simple. It started with a gift card....
In December 2017 I received a Amazon gift card for Christmas from a client. I had no idea what I wanted. The first add that caught my eye was a Cigar Box Guitar. It had a small matching amp, a piezo mic glued to the underside of the lid and powered with a 9 volt battery.
I did Not know how to play, not even a little! I had tried as a 15 year old to learn but I was unable to dedicate time for this. I also have a slight handicap, my ring finger on my left hand has no feeling. As a child I had cut it off but was lucky enough to have it reattached by a excellent surgeon.
My first real wood working project was to make a box for my new CBG. This was a good learning experience and inspired me to Build a few of these, but not just simple boxes with sticks through them! I have been making things with my hands and imagination as long as I can remember so this was great fun for me!
