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.! I 'm the 4 String General at Cigar Box Guitar Headquarters - visit us to see a lot of videos and photos and tips and ideas and cool people. Got the bug to build one of your own?
