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.

0:00 - Intro
0:48 - Pinup CBG
1:09 - Tin Pan Alley
1:21 - Mountain Tenor
1:36 - Goof Off Canjo
2:00 - Slider
2:09 - Pizza Paddle Bass
2:24 - Hobo Fiddle
2:37 - Texas Twanger
3:04 - Diddley Fork & Spoon
3:37 - Texas CBG
3:53 - Hubcap Howler
4:16 - Electric Washtub Bass
4:34 - Gunpowder Canjo
4:47 - 10-Minute Diddley Bow
5:07 - Canoe Paddle Chugger
5:26 - Conclusion

Comment by Poorness Studios on February 9, 2023 at 2:18am: Thanks John. I feel like these videos are always fun.

Comment by Uncle John on February 9, 2023 at 1:41am: That was fun, Kale. A diverse and very nice collection.

Comment by Poorness Studios on February 8, 2023 at 2:46pm: Yeah. It’s totally interpretative but I was trying to keep the video fairly short. This is fir checking it out.

Comment by RON NORTHCUTT on February 8, 2023 at 2:24pm: In my opinion any home-made instrument should be allowed. It's all about using materials at hand.

Comment by Poorness Studios on February 8, 2023 at 1:45pm: 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.

Comment by AGP # on February 8, 2023 at 12:13pm: 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

Comment by Doug Thorsvik on February 8, 2023 at 9:26am: Cool! That was fun Kale. Lots of interesting CBG inspired homemade instruments in your collection.
