I like it.
If you stroke it more than twice; you're playing with it.

Here's some of mine:

And check the link (at the bottom) to my cigarbox guitars web too

If you're a player who is a bit 'jaded', I recommend a cigarbox guitar to give you a new buzz. Open tuned, they're great for dead easy drone type improvisations etc.

John, have you ever made a short backrest for an old Goldwing? I recently acquired a 78 and can't find one anywhere. I can make the pad....
