With My Own Hand Made Magnetic (not transducer) Pickups
I've
been playing guitar for almost 30 years and recording for almost as
long. I've been a guitar teacher for 25 years, specializing in
beginners and fingerstyle acoustic blues. I started playing in a
cover band in Little Rock while still in high school. Opened up my
own recording studio in 1984 (still in business) and recorded about
40 90 minute cassettes of my own music over the next 20+ years. Got
into blues after discovering Robert Johnson and RL Burnside. I've
recorded over 20 full length CD's in the past 8 years including
acoustic blues, electric blues, piano blues, ambient electronic and
experimental electronic. I play all over the south and at blues festival in the traditional hill Country Blues style of RL Burnside, Mississippi Fred McDowell and early Muddy Waters.

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.

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 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.
" I've said it before and
I'll say it again, Jag's albums are all buffets of cbg riffage.
Essential."
