CigarBoxGuitars

DIY Instruments - CigarBox Guitars!

Why? - It's simple to build them, it's cheaper than buying a guitar, it's easier to play them even with now previous knowledge. And it's definitely cool!

In the workshop we do not only talk about building such a cigar box guitar, shortly known as CBG. We build one with three strings!

All the necessary steps will be considered: - Where to get the material from? - Which tools are needed? - Which scale length and how the corresponding fret positions are calculated - ... and: How to make it an ELECTRIC CBG?

The workshop shall be concluded by a short introduction into chords to start playin' da blues. That's how it could sound ;-)
