Cigar Box Guitars and other handcrafted musical instruments
I love building these guitars using recycled cigar boxes, pallets, vintage tin cans, etc. Cigar Box Guitars, or CBGs, have been around for more than 150 years. Early musicians from the Mississippi Delta built guitars with broomsticks as necks, one wire as the only "string" and a cigar box.
I am a self-taught musician and several years ago I was introduced to open guitar tuning . I loved it and was hooked with this new sound coming out from the guitar. Since then I play, almost exclusively 4 and 5 string guitars that I build using open tunings.
I hope you enjoy the shop and my musical instrument creations. I love to build them and every time I finish building one I get excited when I string it up. Each one has a different personality and voice of its own...
Enjoy!
