These photos were taken at the 11th Annual Cigar Box Guitar Festival, which was held at the Lowe Mill in Huntsville, Alabama on May 29 and 30, 2015. This festival was the first cigar box guitar festival established in the United States, and attracts some of the biggest crowds and best performers of any CBG festival in the nation.

Original strings: 1st & 2nd way too light for any purpose, & huge lack of continuity between 2nd & 3rd (bass) strings.
1st: Used 2nd (.017 purple)
2nd: Used 3rd (.026 green)
3rd: Used 5th (.045 red)
Of course, with a little added tension, tune below G.
