Just finished this 6 string designed for playing lots of bottleneck blues!

The giveaway went great and I have already received calls to order custom guitars. I also picked up a couple of the artists as customers. All in all it was a great day for business.

Running sound for the day was successful, but extremely stressful. We had to overcome several technical issues but managed to keep them mostly hidden from the crowd. We got a lot of praise for how the event sounded, but I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you to the amazing stage crew. They deserve as much if not more credit than us.

There was a crowd in the thousands and plans for next year are already underway. I can’t wait. It came and went too fast this time around, but the next one will be even bigger and better!

To show that Cigar Box Builders are less competitive than you might think, I played the guitar from the movie “Songs Inside The Box” for a set last night. It’s not one of my Bacon Fat Guitars, it’s actually a Cigtone from my friend Philip Egers. Check out the clip from the movie below.

A couple of different instrumental demonstrations and an inside look at the electronics.

While it was still a work in progress.
