New toy for spring
I recovered from yesterday's foul weather and the big money hit I took a few days when UPS showed up with a new toy.....my cigar box guitar.
This thing is crazy, look at the nut...it is a cut off bolt! These are the rat-rods of the guitar world and I love them, plan on building a few myself. What is amazing is how good it sounds for a cigar box and 3 strings, it really is impressive. My hand-blown glass slides will be here next week and then it will be time to practice.
The really strange part was that I sent away for this guitar and then found out that one of the most respected builders of these instruments is located less than 25 miles from here!!

To give you an idea....same model of guitar.
I don't know the guy, but it sounds pretty good amp'd up.

Dang it does sound good, looks cool too. We're all anxiously waiting for your first rendition of Stairway to Heaven.
Re: New toy for spring
Wow, that is really Cool!!!!!!
So it's actually a cigar box it's made from??.......I thought it was just called that because of the box shape?

Re: New toy for spring
It is just so cool the sound you get out of what would be considered junk in a trash can. A box, a stick, and some strings....magic.
