I know a lot of "guitar guys" think cigar box guitars are just toys but I assure you the ones I build certainly can get up and move, even with someone of my playing skill "Cardinal" build #039, with a Behringer Ultra Metal pedal and a '52 Magnatone Varsity amp #cigarboxguitar #cbg #threestring

NARRATOR: He did not track down that article. Sad and dejected, he drank his coffee which had grown cold during the search and started watching rando HFY sci-fi stories on YouTube.

I have a LOT of reviews to do in the next week or so, including this short scale bass. I remember that I had a bass for a few weeks when I was in high school. I have no idea where it went, I just remember that I had one at some point. Bass doesn't get enough love imho

I spent my day today with a raging headache and a fierce determination to fit my new wah and IR-2 on my big board - I can pull a huge variety of inspiring sounds with this so it has definitely been worth the shuffle struggle And yes, I have a smaller travel board (Signal chains in the alt text)

"Blackheart" has a pine box body with white fascia and a spicy humbucker that really catches the natural tone and kicks it up to another level. Seriously, I am properly tempted to keep this one for my own self. Strung with 36/26/17 strings and tuned to GDG. #cigarboxguitar #threestring #coffin

"Recluse" is a coffin build with a surprisingly dark, compressed tone. It's loud, it's brutal, and just a bit unrefined in a good way. Seriously, tap that spider in the box. You'll hear a distinctly creepy ring like it's yelling at you. Tuned to GDG. #cigarboxguitar #threestring #coffin #cbg

I *think* I have all the gear and bits I need to do some serious audio recording, so this winter's project might be figuring out how to actually do that. Right now my available work space is geared for luthiery so there would definitely need to be some changes made 🤔

Sparkly. Pink. And there's a unicorn inside! That must be why it's already sold. This build has a rowdy Invader-style humbucker and does pinch harmonics VERY well. It's more metal than you think. Strung with 46/36/26 D'Addario strings and tuned to DAD. #cigarboxguitar #threestring #coffin #cbg

I have some better photos of my latest builds - this trio are kinda like siblings The white build is strung with 36/26/17 and tuned GDG, the others are strung with 46/36/26 and tuned DAD I'll get them listed separately on my own socials and website sometime soonish #cigarboxguitar #threestring

Fresh off the bench! Three coffin builds for the ABQ Headbanger's Market this weekend. I'll get the intonation dialed in later today after the strings have stretched a bit and then I'll get all the beauty shots for posting online tomorrow. #cigarboxguitar #cbg #threestring #coffins

This is just a sample of what we all can have without shitty old white men in charge of everything 🎶

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

As long as I'm offered instruments like this for review, I'll be happy to oblige. I really don't have the time to properly dig into this one until next week but, hey, yeah, I'm not mad at it.

The coffin builds I am creating for the ABQ Headbangers Market are coming along nicely - I have a few more details to add to these today while the final coat of oil on the necks cure. They should be ready to start final assembly tomorrow. #wip #workinprogress #cigarboxguitar #threestring

Turns out this weekend's Ukrainian data center strikes have made social media just a bit more pleasant to doomscroll this morning 💥🔥☕️

I am finding it interesting that there are now multiple mainstream outlets and pundits who are claiming, almost verbatim, "that is it not necessarily broadly true and may have nothing to do with the attacks" - it a clear scramble to try and control the narrative. Keep your heads on a swivel, folks.

NPD, combo volume/wah that just so happens to match my amp - I have never ever used a wah before so this is a completely new experience for me I have three builds currently on the workbench so I haven't had much time to spend with this thing, but it's been interesting so far

Y'all, I am not going to feel the least bit bad about ejecting you from my sphere if I find out you're a redhat. History has always proven where the right stance is here, and I am not going to lose sleep just to sooth your questionable sensibilities.

There's much more to do with shaping these necks but my hands are telling me I'm quite done for the day. Ouch. 😕 #wip #wipwednesday #threestring #cigarboxguitar

So I'm in line for early voting and it's a rather long one. This is really the only agency I have to actually change things and I'm properly motivated to exercise it so I can queue and wait. Let's get this done.

Absolutely rubbish take. Drink for the job you want!

I’m sorry, but if you bring an iced coffee - or any damn beverage at all - to a job interview, you’re disqualified. It’s not hard, people.

Just woke up to a sharp crack of thunder rattling the house and a flash flood warning. The street is a creek and the yard looks like a turbulent lake. I'm fine. Really. It's just very rude imho and I'm certain others here are having a far worse night.

It looks like it will be a bit damp this week. The forecast is for 3.5" here in Las Cruces - that is a LOT of water for such a short time frame and it won't even be the worst of it. The goatheads are gonna have a field day with this 😕

NPD. This Magus Pro is the first pedal I've ever had from TC Electronics and it nails the whole ProCo Rat thing perfectly. As you can see from my settings l like a fat Rat. I'll be shuffling things around on my boards today to make it a permanent addition.

Sure, this might make a landlord happy - but if I were a kid this would just make me want to go outside where the color is

This post is unavailable.

NPD. Again. I'm not mad at this. This Satone is a one trick budget pony, but it does that trick very, very well. This pedal is a hard clipper that has gain for days and it very nearly hits that sweet spot that exists somewhere between a Rat and a Metal Zone, which is what I like.

I'm now confirmed and locked in to be set up in Albuquerque on October 17th for the ABQ Headbangers Market - I will share more info and details on my social media platforms as it is released by the event!

NPD, again. This one arrived today for review. While it's a properly competent bog standard reverb, I don't know how I should feel about this one... umm, because MOIST 💦

NPD - I've recently discovered I properly like Rat-based pedals so buying this new for twenty bucks on a flash sale was a no-brainer - it was either this or, like, a small package of ground beef. I miss burgers 🍔

Big board, little board - it seems I've leveled up to two tiers I really need to get some good clips of what these can do - I feel like covid ran me over this week so that'll be a minute (Signal chains in the alt text)
