What does the Medallas de Oro stand for (not the translation of it - that I do know), but is that your logo or something? Pretty neat. I've never seen anything like it.

Impressive. I've seen cigar box guitars before, but these are very nice. I'm not familar with how these are tuned. Are they tuned like a Cuban Tres, G - C - E ?

No thats not my logo . Its just the humidor that is made for Romeo and Julietta cigars. On the videos my logo starts each one.

You can tune it any way you want . My 3 strings are tuned to an open chord either A or E
in A its A E A
in E its E B E
Pretty simple

OK a confession. You inspired me to start building. Building is the key word. Playing is my problem.
I have built and sold a few, and am completing my first fretted as we speak. (just glued the neck to box this morning)
I work in a special needs school and we got a nice donation of several boxes. After turning a few into purses I thought that there had to be a "guy" thing we could do. After listening to you and yours, I said what the heck. I did some research on CBN and started building. I keep saying that this will be the last one, but someone asked for one the other day. My "sales" profit goes back into the classroom.
I have a few questions if you don't mind. What material do you use for the bridge and nut? And on your slide guitars what is your string height from the neck?

Again, thanks for the inspiration, hope to meet you someday.
