My Entire Cigar Box Guitar Collection (6 minutes of CBGs)
You folks asked for it, so here it is. In this video I look at my CBG collection. It's always a bit interpretive to determine what is and what isn't considered a CBG. For the sake of this video, I left out banjos, ukuleles, dulcimers, & lap steels but included basses. All these instruments are homemade, either from a DIY kit or found materials.

In my opinion any home-made instrument should be allowed. It's all about using materials at hand.

Thanks Doug and AGP. I thought it would be kinda fun. I saw your photos of CBG storage AGP... I think your video might take 5 days. LOL.

Good 5.26 minute Video of your CBG Collection Poorness, I'd do something similar, but it would be at least 5hr 26mins Long! ;-D
