Easy DIY Cigar Box Guitar Stand by Eric Denton
Builder & musician, Eric Denton has invented a simple cigar box guitar stand using another cigar box and a dowel rod (or old drum stick)! These collapsible stands are great for cigar box guitars that don't have a protruding butt-end neck.
On the stands that he uses a single bolt at the bottom of each foot, the unit becomes collapsible and can fit into a gig bag.
Eric Denton has a brand new cigar box guitar album out, Denton Music. It is available for streaming right now on Youtube.

I've been thinking on how to build a simple CBG stand and here it is, Thanks. BTW, you can get 3' x 5/8" wood dowel @ Walmart for like 58 cents or so...

Awesome idea! I've built 2 so far and they work great even with the butt of guitar protruding through the box. Good work!

Buzzing strings when fretted. Frets look good. I have a zero fret license plate guitar. Break angle I can inprove at the nut however the buzzing is coming from the bridge, I used a banjo bridge.
