Instructions easy to follow
Fret instructions are a little confusing to me. Probably just me. I am using this book to build another CBG. Very detailed instructions and a lot of additional information. Thanks

good read
For anyone interested in CBG this is a decent book. It goes over building a basic slide CBG and the rest is just about other instruments Shane Speal has collected. I wish I had of got the hard copy instead of the kindle version.

Just get it!
Whether you are thinking of a cigar box guitar or, have built one like myself, this is a must read. Informative, entertaining, and well illustrated. This book is a gem well worth the price.

Tons of creative ideas & inspiration
At first I was disappointed as I was hoping for more “How To’s” & saw it was more like a “collection of cool weird instruments” - BUT I quickly got drawn into all the creativity and it ended up inspiring me for some of my guitar builds. Great if you want to see “out of the box” design & aren’t expecting a bunch of manuals, & and aren’t looking for how to become a master luthier. It’s bursting with fun, creative instruments

J'attendais ce bouquin avec impatience, mais je suis vraiment déçu. C'est plus un catalogue de réalisation, qu'une vraie source d'infos pour la réalisation de sa propre CBG. Il y a bien quelques exemples, mais c'est léger. J'ai également "Handmade Music Factory: The Ultimate Guide to Making Foot-Stompin'-Good " qui est bien utile.
