We have a ghetto guitar or Cigar Box Guitar (CBG) and Dave gives a tour of his ghetto shop.

Special thanks to the kings of the CBG Carl ‘Daddy Stovepipe’ and Ian ‘Booniesville’ Morrison make sure to go to the links and check out their YouTube mojo….

Here is a link to the 3D model of the guitar I built so you can get the dimensions and build one yourself and here is a link to the viewer / CAD software SKETCHUP that is awesome and free! For parts you need 3-3″ #10 eye bolts, 6- #10 washers, 3- #10 Nylock nuts, 1- 2″ #10 eyebolt, 1- 2″ #8 bolt, cigar box, 3′ 1″x3″ oak board (or any other hardwood), Guitar strings #16, #19, #24


Here is a link to the video file

    Another great and focused episode with some awesome editing! And some decent guitar playin’ too!

    Thanks! I would not call it decent playing on my part…. I need some work but noodling around can be quite relaxing for me, unlike the bleeding ear audience :)
