Make a Cigar Box Guitar

Posted September 17, 2012 9:38 AM

From Lifehacker:

If you want to make a very basic guitar you can do so with a piece of 1x2-inch oak, string, a few hardware odds and ends, and a cigar box.

	I was watching some concert last night, I forget who it was, but noticed that he brought out a different guitar for each number, each of which I recognized until he brought out what looked to be one of these cigar box guitars, and to tell you the truth it didn't hit me that that's what it was until today....Even though I've seen these, I've never seen one actually used by an artist at a concert performance...I can't believe these sound very good, unless made by somebody that knows what the're doing....It's not as easy as it looks... __________________ All living things seek to control their own destiny....this is the purpose of life
