Cigar Box Guitar #001

I’ve been out of the shop for the last week due to an illness so I’ve done a video on a previous project, my 1st Cigar Box Guitar.

In the video there are several pictures, a brief description and a sound clip.

I should be back in the shop this week with another post of the Tenor Guitar Build; in the meantime I hope you enjoy viewing (and hearing) the Cigar Box Guitar.
