My hand made cigar box guitars
A showcase for my cool, hand-made cigar box guitars. These are mainly made from recycled materials (wooden cigar box for the body and hardwood for the neck) and have three strings tuned to an open chord. You play them with a slide or "bottleneck". Most have a piezo crystal picj-up so can be run through an amplifier. They are fantastic bluesy instruments and a whole lot of fun.
