6 String cigar box guitar - acoustic demo

Breaking in this 6 string CBG I just completed using a My Fathers Cigars (Jaime Garcia) box and an oak hand-carved neck. 23 1/2 inch scale length. Has a piezo pickup but I am not plugged in. Playing "Visions of Johanna" by Bob Dylan.

Wow, that's good!   The six sounds great - kind of that old cheap box sound like the old Harmonies and Silvertones.  I mean that in a good way.  I love those old gits. 

The usual excellent vocals from D.R.  But it is the good Dylan harp sounds that impressed me most.  I've never tried that.  You make me think about digging out some Dylan for the day.

Very nice. The bigger the box, the better it sounds.

Thank you, Bruce! I think the deeper box helped on this one, plus I hollowed out the heel inside some too to open the "chamber". Happy New Year to you and the family!

Thank you Richard, I wish I would have sung a few of the words correctly so maybe next time! LOL Should have chosen a shorter song but was playing this one anyway so tried it on the new cbg. Happy New Year!

Great acoustic sound from that guitar. I've been thinking about making a six string some time soon. You did a nice job on that one. Nice song too.

Sounds as good as she looks, I am really enjoying this cover of one of my favorite Dylan songs. Harp playing really shines too!  Great start to 2018, Happy New Year Derek!
