Star Spangled Banner on Cigar Box Guitar

before all you Letha fans get upset with her, I made her do this video for me to show off the guitar I just finished building and my new VOX DA10 portable amp. She learned to play it just for me, and I tweaked the amp without her hearing what it sounded like. I took her a far ways from her bluegrass roots, but she's a good sport.

Awsome dude. It's not as basic as FragileStaticCircus says it. In order to make it look and sound that good there has to be some skills involved. I'm starting on mine today. I'm posting a video after I make it.

Thanks... I'm hoping the basic but good comment was about the song. The guitar was fun to build. There's a yahoo group cigarboxguitarbuilders where you can learn more than enough to build an awesome guitar.

Basic but good

Thanks... Letha didn't even know how to play it 15 minutes prior... We were making videos and I was flipping through the effects on the amp and heard a sound and and and...

I have a Vox DA20 and love it because of the battery powered portability.

I just discovered that Vox discontinued the DA portables!!! What a shame.

You rock Letha! Very nice CBG ROI!

Didn't I hear her at Woodstock? Lol.

Got me a cigar box (or two) and lots of hardwood. Will try to use real fret wire and see what I can put together. I don't know about humbuckers, not on my first CBG. Probably get by with a piezo

What the hell, this is so bad-ass! The guitar and tone, it's just mean as hell! Heck, I recon it's the bad-assest thing since Mickey Rourke and Don Johnson in "Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man"!
