What do you find most interesting about cigar box guitars? (If you do not enter something meaningful here, your membership may be rejected).: I love that with building cigar box instruments there are no standards or parameters that the instrument has to live up to or achieve, as opposed to building say a violin or classical guitar. So for me, the fact that there are essentially no boundaries, lets my imagination & creativity run wild!
