CIGAR BOX GUITAR CHORD CHART - $10
"THE PAINT LID RESONATOR" BY BOB PUGH OF ANGRY ROOSTER GUITARS. There's so much to this guitar that one glance isn't enough. Pugh turned a tabak box over and used its thin back as the soundboard. He then added a paint can lid with punched out hole designs as a resonator. Then there's the spoon tailpiece, kitchen handle, striped neck. Beautiful!
From the article: "...One of those two men (Jones) was holding a rough cut 2'x4' plank, a homemade one-stringed instrument of the crudest construction. After a bit of cajoling from Usher, Jones reached into his pocket and fished out the other two working tools he used to make music with the board, a half-pint whiskey bottle to slide with and a carefully whittled stick to bang the single string with in place of a guitar pick." >>Read more..
