candy tin cigar-box style guitar in open g

[TheBluesBeggar]

This is a great old delta sound.

[BananaHurricane]

That sounds pretty hot. It sounds like the opening to Led Zeppelin's Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp.

what did u use for the pickup, if it anint an acoutic?

[hhguitarist92]

i need some help. I just made a guitar from a tin box, its the same basic build as a cigar box guitar.

Is there anything besides guitar tuning pegs i could use. Would ukulele tuners hold up to the steel strings?

please help me

[xhaylowx]

go to a hardware store, and get Eyebolts.

same general idea as tuning pegs, you can move them aswell to tune.

[grandmafrank1983]

@xhaylowx If you were to use eyebolts, you would tie the strings around them right?

[xhaylowx]

Yes.

[BrYanwithaY1986]

I want to make one......really really really really......

[tankosl]

That's sounds amazing!!!

I think a lot of it's down to the person hitting the strings......Your doing a good job!

Wish I could make one of those for my son to play but I wouldn't know where to start??

[DavidnAnna]

Holy crap that is pretty freakin sweet!

[rpeek]

I've got to build me one of them...

[dotat]

Nice job. I'm going to have ago at making one. Please can you do another video on how to play and tune it. I can sort of play guitar and Uke but would love to get in to this and blues. Thanks.

PS Keep it as simple as you can :-)

[H0LL0WBELLY]

[lennypurnell]

[wabisabi123]

nice blues bark!!

i'm trying to make a guitar like yours.

what kind of peizo transducer and where

do i get one.

[nireson]

I just used a $2 transducer from Radio Shack, whatever kind they have in the parts bin. Be sure not to get a piezo buzzer though -- it has a transducer in it, but you'd have to do some tricky disassembly to get to it.
