#1 resource for Cigar Box Guitars, Free Plans, How-To, Parts & More!

Glass slides & naked tins ........price is right ......

Found this : http://www.specialtybottle.com ........

order 1 or many .....

Coricidin style ... cheap enough to give away with each guit .....
Some of the others look promising .....
if you're good w/ a glass cutter or Dremel wheel ,the "Boston rounds" may make great stubbies for CBG's ....

Multitudes of glass jars for dye/stain mixs? , etc.........

CD-sized tin for Resos , whatever ...

more tins ...
