From WWR

Hello, Anon!

I discovered WWR after picking up a copy of The Appalachian Voice at the offices of WildSouth. There was an ad in there for internet radio station hober.com. I listened for a while; it was ok. Then I googled for internet radio and found Whole Wheat Radio and it was much more to my liking. A listener called Cigar Box Guitars(Now goes by Tybee Guy) caught my attention. After checking out his website (http://cigarboxguitars.com), I got interested in building Cigar Box Guitars and now I spend all my free time in the shop making them. I also experimented with a hubcap banjo.

Here is a video of Eric Butler demonstrating a bass he made using pickups that I made:

Here are some pics of cigar box guitars that I have made.

• CBG3 is a three-stringer made with a Fuente box and an ash neck. It has two handwound pickups. It is not fretted.
• CBG4 has four strings and is fretted with a cocobolo fingerboard and a Macanudo box. It also has two handwound pickups.
• CBG5 is a 6 fretted six string made from a Padron box. It has a curly maple Tele-style neck with a bocote fingerboard. It has one handwound pickup.
• CBG6 has a curly maple neck with a scarf joint (angled neck) with a cocobolo fingerboard and purpleheart accents on the headplate and heel plate. It uses a La Gloria Cubana box. It has 4 strings and two pickups.
• Ok, I admit that the banjo is silly. But I think its kinda cool. The ring is made of 5 plies of maple. The neck is mahogany with Bolivian rosewood on the fingerboard, head plate, and heel plate. The head is goatskin held on by about 70 upholstery tacks. Here is a sound sample
