Homemade Guitars

This is the group for homemade instruments that venture out from the standard cigar box guitar.

Post photos of your oil can guitars, broomstick banjos and just whatever you are working on in your shop.

We want to see it!

Welcome to the group, I find a "Dremel" with a metal cutting disc works best for me.

Hi, I'm new to this group. I've been building CBGs for a bit, but want to do cans. What are folks using to cut openings into cans?
Thanks,
Greg

Out of the 100+ CBG's I own, this one is probably one of the best and most played of them all!

Looks good Andy, love the Fridge Magnet idea!

Have fun with fridge magnets!

Maybe the back angled mahogany neck is why it sounds a little different to others I've heard on the internet?
