I’ve got 30 years on a guitar as a player and a couple with some tools in my hands. I’m looking to buy my first cigar box guitar and came across your video. Very enjoyable to watch. You have made it easy for people of all levels of experience to understand. Great personality and Excellent Job!!!
I've been trying to find you for a while now and just going through cigar box guitar videos and here I am. I will be buying one of yours soon. So happy I finally found you.
As always Mike, loved the video. You bring so much energy to your CBG playing that a person would have to be brain dead no to get excited. Cheers and have a great weekend! 😎🎼🎵🎶🎵🎶☯
Amazing sound Mike!!! I have a 3 strings CBG with f hole and piezo (made in 2017 by Premiatissima Liuteria Fusillo) i love it man!!! LONG LIVE CBG!!!🤟🏻
Great video, very informative. After a few years, I’m about to build my second one and it’s good to refresh few details before I start the construction 🤘
The basic straight stick neck with bolts for the bridge and nut will give you a low action, but there will be almost no bend or “break” at the nut or bridge (Mike’s points 4&5), and there strings will be very close to the top, meaning that you will be hitting it with your pick when you play it. It’s better to install the neck at a slight angle, about 1 to 2 degrees. That will raise the strings away from the top and let you use a bridge that is tall enough to get a good bend in the strings.
Hey Mike, question, who makes your certificate stamps? Everyone recommends those shipping labels but they don’t really last. The postage stamp style on paper lasts forever it seems. Any help is much appreciated. Thx Graysaw

Glad to see you Back on Track Snowden!! Sounds great!! I'm working on mine!!
Like anything else, the instrument in the hands of a master is fantastic! Great advice!

Your CBG's ALWAYS sounds really good Mike and you actually play very well, and transfer a good energy out to us, as listeners to 🙂😉
💐✨🌹💖💝💖🌹✨💐
I really enjoyed this...such a lovely sound indeed -)
Nice to see a couple lefties in your store. Not always easy to find off the rack.
If you think it’s hard to find a left handed CBG, try finding a left handed diddley bow!
Thank you Mike!!😊
Mike - I need you to not be sold out of the Lefty Blue Sky 3 String Cigar Box Guitar CBG #2360. I want one!
Thanks man, great tips.
Keep on rockin godspeed and party on
That was good info and your guitar sounds great!! What’s considered standard tuning for these guitars?
Mike could you recommend a low cost amplifier for a starting beginner with a small budget?
MAY I ASK WHAT ARE THE STRINGS YOUR USING AS THEY LOOK ALL TE SAME .MANY THANKS MY FRIEND .
So what brand/model would you recommend? What is the one you demo on video? Thank You!
hello, beautiful cbg, what string do you have and the brand to make a nice sound like yours please. thank you
New Sub here. Would you recommend a 3 string or four string for a beginner? I play a standard six string and alot of slide.
Will he mention how to tune it?
My guess is GBE
You forgot _PRICE._ How much is it? Is it worth the cost?
Got the Fat Bottom Betty today !!! I love it !!!
You look like Severus Snape ❤
You didn't mentions STRINGS?? - Very important!
What tips do you have to keep the action lower when building?
