Cigar Box Guitar! (New Song Too!!)
Posted on July 9, 2010 with 0 comments
Wow. Eric Hutchens walked into the Doo Wop Shop yesterday and made me the proud new owner of one of his custom-built Cigar Box Guitars! :0 )I'm like a kid on Christmas with this thing. And I've also discovered that everything you play on a CBG sounds vaguely like Jimmy Page. (I think it has something to do with the open-G tuning, but whatever. That's COOL.)
If you want one of these babies or a custom built electric, acoustic or even mandolin, contact Eric:

He also does excellent repairs and is my go-to guy for all of my guitars now. He's done several repairs for me and made a guitar that's been unplayable for 4 years sound better than it ever has. The guy's a genius.
I'm going to post some pictures but that means I gotta take my time on today's blog. As I was lining up the last photo on my phone, the battery died. Guess I forgot to put it on the charger last night. Whoops.
That's actually okay though because I was reading some charts on Internet usage statistics and it turns out that 10 AM is like THE hopping time for people to be online. This website you're on right now follows that trend as well. I know, I'll put in a screen shot from last month. That'll fill space AND time !
Now you have to adjust for the fact that my server is in like Seattle or something, on West Coast time, so 6 AM there is 10 AM here. So I guess I'll start sharing my blogs on Facebook around 10 AM, EST.
This morning I believe I will also be recording a song using the guitar Eric repaired and also the CBG he built. It will be a surprise, probably a cover of a song I came up with a new arrangement for yesterday. Hope ya like it!
