Yet another Special Interest Group: CIGAR BOX GUITARS
Jim says “All you need is a stick and a cigar box”
Oh, some other parts too, and a few tools would be handy
So, What is a Cigar Box Guitar?
1) They might say it’s a Primitive Chordophone with a Cigar Box resonator with the first ones made around 1870.
2) It could have one or more strings– it’s up to you.
3) Does not have to be made from a cigar box
4) There is some kind of revival going on!
