Box Guitars

I
love the primitive simplicity of a cigar box guitar. And I love
the sound...
With roots
that go back hundreds of years, today there's a resurgence of
artists playing and building them. There's nothing like making
music on a primitive, handmade instrument. BEWARE! It is
addicting and challenging and addicting...
I've created some that look like they were discovered after a hundred
years in an attic or shed, and I''ve crafted some that look Hot
Rodded, and can stand the rigors of touring and recording.
Different strokes... You could have different CBGs for
different songs. They inspire and challenge.!
