706-495-3489 Originally from Louisville, KY Jacob now calls Augusta, GA home. Being a musician himself Jacob has always had a passion for music and a great eye for creativity. He started out building odds and ends in his shop, anything from Liquor bottle lamps and clocks to furniture. After a little inspiration he decided with his musical background to try his hand at instrument building. With only scrap materials around his shop built his first guitar in 2016. Now with well over 100 builds under his belt and the help of MGBguitars.com has had his works on display in museums, cigar shops, airports and even had the pleasure of shipping out of the US to Canada a few times. He continues to be a mad scientist building: CBGs (cigar box guitars) ukuleles, bass guitars, diddley bows, canjos, and pretty much anything with a string. His vision is to build great instruments at great prices. Jacob loves to see the smile on a customer's face when they play a Dillander Designs handcrafted instrument.

All strings are packed in a corrosion resistant envelope and then packed in a reclosable 4 mil bag. MGB strings are available in two styles, Plain Steel and Nickel Wound. Plain Steel strings are thinner and used in the lower positions on a instrument and create higher pitches. Nickel Wound strings are much thicker and heavier and used on the higher positions on an instrument and create lower pitches. Using a combination of different styles and diameters tuned to different pitches is the goal. The scale length of the neck is also critical a factor in selecting the correct strings. Scales lengths from 24-25.5 inches are the standard for guitars. We generally make recommendations for scale lengths in that range. If the scale length is longer or shorter, other strings may work better. Picking the right strings are a personal choice. At MGB we tend to prefer lighter strings like .013, .017 and .026 tuned to GDG. We offer an assortment of sizes in both styles. We also offer different quantities, you can buy one, three or a dozen strings. We believe our offering provides lots of options for builders. You can pick your favorite strings or do some experimentation with different strings.   MGB's CBG cheat sheet is a valuable tool for better understanding the different pitches we are referring to and can be found HERE. Having a digital caliper in your toolbox is helpful when you need to identify a string. Check out our 3 for $3 string packs HERE. Check out our 4 for $4 string packs HERE.
