Your Bluesboy Jag Cigar Box Guitar Here Bluesboy
Jag I've been playing
guitar for 33 years and recording for almost as long. I've
been a guitar teacher for over 30 years, I started playing in a
cover band in Little Rock while still in high school. Opened
up my own recording studio in 1984 Got into blues after
discovering Robert Johnson and RL Burnside. I've recorded
over 30 full length CD's in the past 9 years Endorsements I've been playing one of Jag's cbg's on the road for almost 5 years and it's still in great shape and delivers the goods every time! -Will Greene JAG's the real deal!!! I've played his
cigar box guitars and they absolutely rock. His cds are mandatory listening for any
prim-rock wannabe. -Shane Speal, self-proclaimed king of the
Cigar Box Guitar Hi!! I Currently
own a 1978 Guild D55, 1987 Guild Nightbird, and a Martin
¬Ý- Ian Anderson signature 0-28 (only 87
made)‚ I have not
been able to put down the new Cuesta 3 String!! Just worked
out a version of Led Zeppelin "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" last night.
Great instrument! Thank You! Regards, L
Perry I recently purchased a 3 string diddley
bow from you, and I just wanted to drop you a line and tell
you how totally pleased that I am with it. I deliberately waited a couple weeks to
get some playing time in before writing you - anyone can
open the box and say "oh wow, what a great instrument"...that's a nice thing
to do, but it doesn't represent the world that my
instruments go through. I play in a working bluegrass/country/old
timey/whatever band - The Lonesome Midnight Cowboys. As a
side gig, our guitar player and I do a duet act called The Goat Ropers,
with him on either a Tele or a 6 string CBG, while I am the
utility man on 3 and 4 string CBG's, CBG mandolin, a Speal one stringer,
washboard, jews harp, harmonica, mountain kazoo...and now
the Blues Boy Jag 3 string Diddley Bow. The BBJ 3 stringer plays absolutely super
and is built like a tank. It hangs with the electric guitars
like you wouldn't believe, and the wide string spacing allows me to do hammer
on's and pull off's with my trusty Stevens steel bar that
are incredible. In short - it works and it works real real
good! I've played a couple house parties with
it and will be using it at a benefit this Saturday. Out of
all my CBG family instruments, it's my r ock...my Steady Eddie. Always in tune,
always ready to go, always delivers the goods. I am well
pleased. Thank you for making such a well made
instrument that a gigging musician can afford and be proud
of. Steve Williams Vincent OH I just received my Hoyo Jag and I love
it. I've been playing it for the last 4 hours. Thank you for
offering a great product at a very reasonable
price. A. Messenger Hey there, I wanted to send you a note to
tell you how much I love my CGB. My girlfriend Lorijo
Daniels bought it for me. I didn't have any idea what to make of it
when I saw it and didn't realize what a fine instrument it
truly is until just recently. I've never played slide guitar, or an
open tuning for that matter, so it's been a bit to wrap my
head around. I'm really a piano player with decent guitar ability, but not
great. I'm playing the CGB through a fender bassman 25
and a Guitar POD XT. My stuffy guitar player friends would look down on
the setup, but who cares?! The CGB sounds friggin
awesome and plays beautifully. It's inspiring.
Sooooo coooool! Keep up the fantastic work, you
have a fan in Portland. Best regards, Tom, Portland Jag: My CBG came today. 1. Beautiful 2. beautiful and ass-kickin'
amp 3. beautiful, solid & cigarbox-like
case. 4. sounds good thru Danelectro Ho-Dad
amp 5. scary thru Fender Twin
Reverb 6. like that funky 9V battery
holder. 7. the instruction disc was comprehensive
and well planned 8 .the cassettes were a nice touch, and
quite tasty 9. Jimmy Rushing! Wow! 10 Blue Bland's 2 steps from the Blues!!
Damn! 11. Leroy carr, Christmas in Jail?
Seasick Steve has a similar themed song... And 12 bars, a box o' cigars, a wine
bottle-neck...you couldn't need more. Or As Little Richard might
say: Bluesboy Jag, he put the jinx on
me, I got the CBG-bies and I can't get
well, I got the Cbg-bies and it's you I
gotta tell, If I can't find my baby, then you know
darn well, I'm gonna ring those strings like an
ol' church bell. Jag - WOW! All I can say is a great
big W O W! This guitar is fantastic! It plays like a
dream and has a tone that KILLS. My friends keep ooh-ing and
ahh-ing when I jam with them. Your work is precise and
goregeous. I'm starting a new band! Thanks SO
MUCH! Gerald Preston, Minneapolis Hey Jag, My CBG arrived today, thank you
for sending it all the way to Norway! It sounds and looks
amazing, I keep having a hard time putting it down,
I've had it for a few days now and I have
truly fallen in love with this instrument. And also I could
never play slide before on my other guitars, on this
however its not just easy but it feels natural to
me. Adrian Hallangen Man I bought one of those cheap CBGs on
eBay with the transducer pickup and I was really
disappointed. So I bought yours with your
magnetic pickup and I gotta tell ya, thing things
is AMAZING! The attention to detail really makes your CBGs
stand out. You get what you pay for I guess. Now I
know why you are mentioned all over the internet! Clinton
Tedford Bill, I got my Boogie Board today in the
mail. Thank you so much for shipping it quick, it is awesome
and sounds killer thru my Ampeg 15in bass amp...just
got to build up that leg muscle!! Thanks
again.... Alan I love my three string cigar box
guitar. But it's dangerous to have around.
Whenever I grab it, I can't put it down. It's
seriously addictive. Though intimidated at first by the lack
of frets, I've found it to be very easy to play. It's
well constructed and the electronics work
fine. And the best thing about it of course, is
that all the groupies go crazy over my new natural
sounding groove. Doug Czajkowski Hey Jag, I want to let you know the guitar made it
in great shape as promised and it is beautiful! I have
been lusting after one of these for a couple years and it certainly did not
disappoint. Now I just need to take my rudimentary
knowledge and skills and figure out how to play
it. I am looking forward to the
journey. I may be checking in for one of your foot
stompers some time soon. Thanks! Mike The guitar came today, we love it, and it
sounds great. Thank you. RAF Deb is so happy withthe banjo! This is
the best present we have ever given her since the bouncy
horse she got for Christmas the year she turned
4! I saw the pictures of it on your website. It looks
awesome. Mary Davis Jag- I just had to let you know how your
instrument was recieved. I thought my husband would have to learn
how to play it for awhile, but no,instead he tuned it, plugged it in and
started playing it like he had it his whole life! He's in love with it.
He said, "finally that blues sound I've been looking for!". He even
called me today from his day job where he works with kids in a
juvinile detentention center and he brought his CBG and everyone was amazed,
one of the correctional officers happened to have a harmonica with him and
they started playing and pretty soon had a crowd. Tomorrow he's
performing at a big festival and has already come up with a couple of songs
he's going to play. I'm going to take a picture of him playing there
and email it to you. I want to thank you again for making it so fast, shipping
it so soon, and making it soundso good. Sam in California Jag, Just wanted to follow up to let you know
my husband LOVES his left-hand cbg and amp!Thanks for a
great turn around and a great product! Happy New Year Nancy D. hi jag the guitar and foot stomper arived
today both are amazing! the guitar sounds great even when
played without an amp ! Ill be taking it
to work everyday to play in my lunch break John UK Hi Jag, Got the Punch guitar last Friday....
excellent sound and really like the work. Im playing it any chance I get. Thanks,
Daniel Hey Jag, Guitar & amp arrived today. No
problemo, Sounds nice and dirty, I just love it !
Thanks for the nice job, Marco. Belgium Hey Jag, just got the La Grand Fabrica
cbg and it is KILLER!!! It'll be perfect for the blues
festival I'm playing in Maryland. I can now effectively do covers of
Moreland and Arbuckle at my gigs! Thanks man. Hi Jag, Thank you for my cigar box guitar it's
beautiful I shall enjoy very much making a noise on it! Bye,
Alison (UK) I just received my first cigar box guitar
by Jag, and I simply couldn't be happier with it! This
little instrument is a whole lot of fun, and EASY to play.
I've owned a bunch of musical instruments
over the past 30 years, but dollar for dollar this has got
to be THE best bargain I've ever had! Jag is a true
craftsman! I know that he plays it with a slide, but
for myself, I've found that the neck is so silky smooth that
I like to "fret" the strings and slide up and down the
fingerboard that way. Overdrive it a bit, through a little tube
amp, (or in my case a solid state amp with a tube emulator
pedal), and you've got the makings for some geniuine,
heart grindin', foot stompin', po' boy,
street corner blues. For a different sound I'm thinkin'
about getting another one fretted . . . string it up lighter, and try it with a
drone string (like a mountain dulcimer.) I think that would
be the cat's ass, too! I can't wait to incorporate this into my
band's "MucklandMusic" sound! Kevin Sprague http://www.mucklandcrooners.com I
received the guitar yesterday... It is PERFECT! I am giving
it to my 11 yr old son for his birthday. He loves to play guitar and came across a
guy with a CBG last yr. He was amazed after playing it and
has wanted one since then. I am going to have a really hard
time waiting until the 21st to give it to him!!! You did a
great job. I know it will sound great and that he will LOVE
it! Lisa, Tx Jag, I received the CBG, case and amp
yesterday. All I can say is wow! This is the first one I
have seen in person but the quality is unbelievable and you are a true
craftsman. I cannot play a regular guitar but I love the
history and songs of the southern bluesmen and hope I can learn to
play a little. I want another one, these things just look so
awesome! Dear Bluesboy Jag, First of all, I bought a guitar from you
in March and have LOVED it! the pickup sounds great,
action plays well, and I have found it
sounds a lot like a sitar if you play it a certain
way. Also, I bought a guitar yesterday for my
brothers birthday-- when you ship the guitar to him, please
do not include the receipt, as it is a gift. THANK YOU AND KEEP UP THE GREAT
INSTRUMENT-MAKING, R. Schneider Another great instrument, thank you so
much, you are the master of the box guitar!! -R Schneider HI . well i got my guitar this morning .
I love it and it sounds great ¬Ý, nice case too
. thanks . Billy H. Rogers Ar Hi Jag, The guitar arrived
yesterday. I must say that I was thoroughly
impressed with not only the quality of workmanship but with
the sound of the guitar also. Everything was much nicer than I had
anticipated.You did a beautiful job on it. I wouldn't
hesitate to buy another one from you or to recommend
you to anyone interested in buying one of these great
instruments. Thank you so much. Wayne Hey Jag! I got your cigarbox...great work...sounds
cool....still experimenting but I am very pleased with the
slide sound especially! Thanks again Jim jag got my cb guitar yesterday and have been
playing it ever since,sorry for the delay but you make
awesome guitars love the warm sound
from¬Ýyour pickup she sure screams for one
string and a broom stick! love it! Thanks! Chicago mike Got the guitar for my son. Its great!
Will get one for myself soon. Thanks! Lionel Johnston I received my CBG yesterday and played it
forseveral hours. I thoroughly enjoyed the uniqueness of the
instrument and expect I will log many, many hours playing it. I
tried it in open A, open G and G5. Open A seems to be
optimal with the strings it came with. I would like to compliment you on your
craftsmanship (my wife sends her compliments aswell). I
played the instrument through my Ampeg Jet tube amp, straight into the amp
and also through a Korg ToneWorks processor, with excellent
results. I also played it through my Fender Acoustasonic amp which produced
very appealing tones and really brought out and enhanced the
acoustic properties of the instrument. Thanks for being out there
and also for your prompt service. I really appreciate what
you're doing! Bobby Q North
