What do you find most interesting about cigar box guitars? (If you do not enter something meaningful here (at least one sentence long), your membership may be rejected as a spam/bot fake account).: I love the craftmansship I see in many of the guitars and the was people let their imagination help them to create pieces of art or guitars and etc. using various items found in junk drqwers and et. I really love the unusual guitars made out of shovels, boat paddles and lunch boxes to name a few. I am learning to play one that I purchased 3 yrs ago and have started my first build.
