DIY Instruments - CigarBox Guitars!

Orient express klangbox no 66 web.jpg

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
  • it sounds and looks cool!

In the workshop we do not only talk about building such a cigar box guitar. 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 ;-)
