Don't let the name fool you! Though the primary focus is about hand made instruments, the next logical step is playing them so please feel free to post your performaces as well.

The featured Cigar Box Guitar picture is from Matte Resist, a member of our forum. Matte's build starts with a Davidoff box. It has a tuna can resonator, but instead of having it upside down, it is right side up with a very tall bridge. This was his first time doing f-holes, and as you can see, they turned out nice. The headstock is sharp too, as it is laminated with a section from another cigar box. Great job Matte!
