He wanted a CBG, but he needed a 6 string. I re-purposed an Ibanez neck that someone else removed from their guitar. The box is completely filled with oak - this thing is solid. I spent a lot of time getting the action low with no fret buzz to make it as easy to play as possible for the kid. I made this sound check demo to get approval before shipping it from Atlanta to Chicago. My playing is less than perfect. I was pleased with how it turned out, but the ultimate reward was that the young man doubled his guitar lessons and started playing daily because this guitar is much easier to play than the commercial acoustic he was learning on. When I heard that, it made my week! Oh - another cool thing is that I got the box from the cigar store in the Florida town where the kid's Grampa lives (my mother lives there as well). 2 String Canjo Homemade Cookie Tin Banjo with Eye Bolt Screws for tuning keys tag:www.cigarboxnation.com,2014-07-20:2592684:Video:2056616 2014-07-20T01:31:59.258Z Mark Stowe https://www.cigarboxnation.com/profile/MarkStowe <a href="https://www.cigarboxnation.com/video/2-string-canjo-homemade-cookie-tin-banjo-with-eye-bolt-screws-for"><br /> <img alt="Thumbnail" height="180" src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/330101232?profile=original&amp;width=240&amp;height=180" width="240"></img><br /> </a> <br></br>A quick demo of a 2 String Canjo<br></br> Homemade cookie tin banjo with 2 eye bolt ( 1/4 by 4 ) screws for tuning keys<br></br> <br></br> Feel free to check out my new single "Ballad of the Swamp Monster" played on my homemade 3 string cigar box guitar...<br></br> <br></br> iTunes…<br></br> <a href="https://www.cigarboxnation.com/video/2-string-canjo-homemade-cookie-tin-banjo-with-eye-bolt-screws-for"><br /> <img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/330101232?profile=original&amp;width=240&amp;height=180" width="240" height="180" alt="Thumbnail" /><br /> </a><br />A quick demo of a 2 String Canjo<br /> Homemade cookie tin banjo with 2 eye bolt ( 1/4 by 4 ) screws for tuning keys<br /> <br /> Feel free to check out my new single "Ballad of the Swamp Monster" played on my homemade 3 string cigar box guitar...<br /> <br /> iTunes<br /> <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/ballad-swamp-monster-single/id895161828">https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/ballad-swamp-monster-single/id895161828</a><br /> <br /> Google Play<br /> <a href="https://play.google.com/store/music/album/Mark_Stowe_Ballad_of_the_Swamp_Monster?id=Bkdoi47vkbyxxfdrhjwu5ovesvq">https://play.google.com/store/music/album/Mark_Stowe_Ballad_of_the_Swamp_Monster?id=Bkdoi47vkbyxxfdrhjwu5ovesvq</a> system of a down - aerials - primitive cigar box guitar three string slide - acoustic cover tag:www.cigarboxnation.com,2012-07-26:2592684:Video:1185814 2012-07-26T05:26:29.541Z Crow https://www.cigarboxnation.com/profile/Crow <a href="https://www.cigarboxnation.com/video/system-of-a-down-aerials-primitive-cigar-box-guitar-three-string"><br /> <img alt="Thumbnail" height="180" src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/329939434?profile=original&amp;width=240&amp;height=180" width="240"></img><br /> </a> <br></br>Hey guys!

Back again and happy to be making more videos! Sorry about the long break, I didn't have any way to record.<br /> <br /> Here we have System Of A Down, Aerials, performed on my handmade primitive three string slide cigar box guitar, it's an acoustic with eye bolts for tuners.<br /> <br /> I'm not a pro performer nor singer, but I'm always super happy to share what I've learned through building and playing these great instruments. If you've kept up with my channel, you'll see that I've proven many times that these diddley-bow instruments aren't limited to playing just blues riffs, they can be used to accompany a singing voice in almost any style of popular music. Playing is easy, it only takes one finger and some rhythm!<br /> <br /> Have a great day and thanks for watching! :) OZZY - Mama I'm Coming Home tag:www.cigarboxnation.com,2011-07-10:2592684:Video:655421 2011-07-10T00:26:45.927Z Crow https://www.cigarboxnation.com/profile/Crow <a href="https://www.cigarboxnation.com/video/ozzy-mama-im-coming-home"><br /> <img alt="Thumbnail" height="180" src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/329858397?profile=original&amp;width=240&amp;height=180" width="240"></img><br /> </a> <br></br>i've officially outdone myself. this is a song i NEVER in my WILDEST DREAMS though of covering on a cigar box guitar, especially with no frets and an open tuning, and even less so in the rare "open A" tuning that i use.. but here it is!<br></br> <br></br> thank you guys so much for watching, you make it all worth it! with every video, i'll prove how much you can do with a few spare parts… <a href="https://www.cigarboxnation.com/video/ozzy-mama-im-coming-home"><br /> <img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/329858397?profile=original&amp;width=240&amp;height=180" width="240" height="180" alt="Thumbnail" /><br /> </a><br />i've officially outdone myself. this is a song i NEVER in my WILDEST DREAMS though of covering on a cigar box guitar, especially with no frets and an open tuning, and even less so in the rare "open A" tuning that i use.. but here it is!<br /> <br /> thank you guys so much for watching, you make it all worth it! with every video, i'll prove how much you can do with a few spare parts and a little talent!<br /> <br /> this guitar was made a few days ago following my own time proven design (Uncle Crow style), using eye bolts for tuners, five bolts, and a cigar box. the videos can be found on my youtube channel. message me with any questions.<br /> <br /> i can't wait to see what you guys do next! detroit rock city with the plank tag:www.cigarboxnation.com,2009-12-27:2592684:Video:165763 2009-12-27T12:28:08.730Z Crow https://www.cigarboxnation.com/profile/Crow <a href="https://www.cigarboxnation.com/video/detroit-rock-city-with-the"><br /> <img alt="Thumbnail" height="180" src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/329800458?profile=original&amp;width=240&amp;height=180" width="240"></img><br /> </a> <br></br>alright, one of my all time favorite songs, played on my "plank" guitar. it has no frets, is played with a slide, it has only three strings and only eye bolts for tuners.. and the plank of wood from an old shelf, and the 1x2 neck is a piece of scrap. i just split the neck and removed a section to make space for a REAL pickup from an old electric guitar<br></br> <br></br> old gx15 crate… <a href="https://www.cigarboxnation.com/video/detroit-rock-city-with-the"><br /> <img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/329800458?profile=original&amp;width=240&amp;height=180" width="240" height="180" alt="Thumbnail" /><br /> </a><br />alright, one of my all time favorite songs, played on my "plank" guitar. it has no frets, is played with a slide, it has only three strings and only eye bolts for tuners.. and the plank of wood from an old shelf, and the 1x2 neck is a piece of scrap. i just split the neck and removed a section to make space for a REAL pickup from an old electric guitar<br /> <br /> old gx15 crate amp, and a danelectro fab tone pedal.<br /> <br /> and WTF?? did i say happy thanksgiving??
