I love it, Steve! This thing plays like a dream. I can’t believe you had it baptized by other performers at the festival. That just adds to the whole mojo. Wow, I’m honored to receive this! Thank you again.

[@stevesstrings5243]

Glad you enjoyed it! I look forward to hearing it played by you plugged-in, but I wanted it to be playable acoustically too!

I love all the contrasting wood colors. It’s a real beautiful instrument. I’d be intimidated making a guitar for “the king”. 👑

[@stevesstrings5243]

Thanks! I’ll be honest, I gave this a lot of thought! I wanted it to be something worthy of the king! I’m content with how it turned out.

I loved playing that guitar. Very nice workmanship Steve. I saw Shane's video. It seems like he really liked it. The timing was kinda odd with him posting this on a Monday but you'll see my video this coming Sunday.

I see your point! Guitar, banjo, canjo? Call it anything you like! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Hey Steve, your room is getting rather crowded. Rich Davis will be envious.😎. Your craftsmanship and your aesthetic prowess improve with each new creation. Good stuff.

[@stevesstrings5243]

Thank you kindly!

[@robertmcloughlin9086]

Would love to learn how to build one of these. They sound fantastic. Beautifully made even though it’s made of scrap pieces.

[@stevesstrings5243]

Thank you very much! Check out the video I made on how to build a CBG with very few tools. You can do it! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@scottloessy2088]

High quality work once again Steve! Really great design

[@stevesstrings5243]

Glad you like it, Scot! It was a fun build. Since it was for Shane, I wanted it to be something he would want to play. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Wow almost as good a story as the one you built for me!!! I loved it!! you are such a talented and generous man !! I have surgery on May 28th on my left hand in two places. I’m hoping that after I heal and do OT I will be able to play the lovely cigar box guitar more !! Fantastic job and I’m sure the new owner must Love It!! ❤

[@stevesstrings5243]

Thanks Maria! I'm praying for a good outcome for you following surgery and rehabilitation!
