ZZ Top's "25 Lighters" on cigar box guitar

Here's a new guitar that I've just finished. 3 strings, single humbucker with coil tap switch, cherrywood and black walnut. I'm showing how to play "25 Lighters" by ZZ Top.

You are a great player and builder. Keep the ZZtop music lessons coming. I have learned a lot from your videos, what to do what not to do! Thanks for sharing, you really help everyone who is new at this. And you are funny!!

I like the wings and look, and of course the sound!

Love the look and sound on this one John! Great lesson, might try and give it a lash. The coil switch is an awesome touch! Well done Mofo :-)

Great lesson John. I'll have to try this one I think. Thanks very much.

Great looking guitar BTW. Might shoot you a quick message over in the morning. I had no idea you were currently building. Thanks again!
