With a piece of oak, some string and a cigar box, John Park creates a three-stringed guitar. The cigar box acts as the resonating soundboard for the instrument. John then wires the guitar to a buck-fifty cassette-player amp and makes it really rock.

  • That's not a cigar box guitar, that is a 2x1 plank guitar with a cigar box glued to it.

  • That really did sound hilariously bad. If I didn't know that these things can, and usually do sound a HELL of a lot better, I'd pass these over in favor of, I don't know...knitting, or something

  • I mean, I know these things are a little rough around the edges (I'm building one right now.)... But, this is one ghetto CBG, and it sounds pretty awful.

  • why the hell cant i find a non electric instruction video

  • you can build a cigar box you cant tune a god damn guitar

  • @mcxznbv u can use a drill

  • just go buy guitar strings

  • son of a bitch... I wish i had a drill press :(
