For an example of the limitless possibilities in crafting your cigar box guitar, look at the guitar Super Chikan is playing. He crafted that guitar with a literal broomstick as the fretboard. One of the best parts about making cigar box guitars is that there are no rules!

Sounds great! And to think that it was made out of a box and a broomstick!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool! I strongly agree with Kathryn's comment. I can't believe he's playing an instrument that made by just cigar box and broomstick! Just awesome!
