Introducing the hottest new Cigar Box Guitar accessory of 2015! Dazzle your audience with sound activated LED Sunglasses triggered by your very own CBG. Operators are standing by - order yours today!

I found this very simple circuit on Instructables and decided to give it a try. Basically a battery, 2 LEDs and a Transistor. Good times.

I wired in the guitar output to this circuit, but the output of the piezo pickups in the guitar weren't strong enough so I had to run it through an amp first. I would think a 386 circuit would work here.

You could activate the lights with the strings but moving with the slide is brain rattler. I built a few circuits I want to turn a blinking circuit into a tremolo for lm386 amp I have a danelectro pedal gutted for one . I cleaned 2 radio shacks out of 386 amps and 555 timers.

Fun with electronix! Yet another thing I've learned a little about thanks to CBN.  Thanks guys and gals.

Yep RTZ, the possibilities are endless.  I was thinking you could put a strip of LEDs down the center of the neck, wire the strings into the circuit and somehow complete the circuit with a metal slide so that the LEDs would follow your playing.  That would be cool on a steampunk or Star Wars kind of build.
