While looking up used electrics on eBay, I came across an odd sight... a Cigar Box Guitar! What in the world...? I had to find out what this was all about.
Anyhow, after seeing videos on Youtube, I was sold. I had to make one. So this past week, I constructed my first (pics to come) and have even gotten a good sound out of it. I will describe it later when I have the pics, but tell ya this thing is gonna be great when its finished. I might even put in a piezo pickup. dunno. Right now, I have put on a few coats of clear polyU and have stained some of the parts. I will need to come up with a better construction order (paint this first, glue that next, etc) but overall, its coming along nicely.
Anyhow, Ya'll in the SC area (I see a few) give us a shout out. Let me know where you find the best boxes, hardware, stuff....
