Cigarbox guitars are selfmade guitars. I believe, it is an interesting job to build an own unique instrument. The photo introduces some cigarbox guitars built by my friend Wolfgang in Graz – and the music features me on guitar – but also jmrukkers, Zurich, playing fast runs on his selfmade cigarbox guitar

Hi there, you have some really cool cbgs there. I make cbgs too. Have a look at some of my instruments at http://nnncbg.wordpress.com/. I think that making these instruments banishes the mystery and mystique surrounding musical instruments and music. Let’s face it, a guitar is just a set of strings stretched across a sounding box, each string lengthened or shortened to create a different note. Keep up the good work.

hi frizztext
thank you for the honor to show a part of my cigarbox guitars
it is indeed a great fun to build a cigarbox guitar
each guitar is an unique modell and i love the special sound of this guitar type because
you have to play it without frets and with a bottle neck
unfortunately i am a bad guitar player and so it is better to give you the link to an interesting player:
enjoy it
