My 1st CBG (Jan '08)

After listening/learning a lot of Delta/Country Blues and cutting bottlenecks, I decided to make a cigar box guitar.

After some drawing and planning I created this...





Completed with hand saws, 1 file, glue, sandpaper, clamps, and a drill. My hands were messed up. Wired with a piezo pickup, it's great plugged in.

It's kind of a sneaky resonator, the biscuit bridge goes through the top -- I liked the look without a pie plate. I added the drawer handle since I've always like that covered look on old Fender bass guitars.

Here's a sound clip -- I plugged the guitar directly into the mic jack on my computer, it's pretty rough but you get the idea...
