A co-worker of mine turned me on to the cigar box guitar community. If you haven’t seen or heard one your missing out. The earliest cigar box guitars date from the mid nineteenth century. They can consist of a cigar box with something as simple as a plain plank of wood through it acting as a neck with 3 strings. More modern ones can have standard necks with 6 strings and pickups. They look cool, are fairly indestructible if built correctly and have a sound all their own. You can get more information at http://cigarboxguitars.com or http://www.cigarboxnation.com . This will definitely be a future project once I finish the current batch of guitars I am working on. I will blog the project when I get to it so check back. Listen to the video below to hear the amazing sound of one of these guitars.
