Hi! I'm Mark Vickroid, from The Vickroids: http://www.myspace.com/thevickroids. I build cigar box guitars and play them in the band. This is a video of me playing a 6-string fretted CBG with a built-in amp live @ Lemmons in St. Louis, Missouri. Note that the drummer had NEVER practiced with me before! Contact me here or at Myspace for custom instruments...

Fuck Yeah!
The Vickroids are going to take the world of rock n' punk by storm!

  • what neck is that from or did you make it urself?

  • I made that one myself.

    I stole the scale length from a First Act kids toy guitar.

    I subsequently realized that the first act neck was pretty damn fine with some new mandolin frets installed

  • I built it alright.

    To get the fire, you gotta use the right amp. Not the built-in amp - that's crap.

    Plug in to a 5 watt Epiphone Valve Jr. head with some secret mojo mods, and send that to a 16 ohm cabinet [really, 2 seperate cabinets] With a 10" Eminince in one side, and a 12 inch well broken in Carvin on the other. Open back, of course. Mic both cabs. Pan one out left 50%, one right 50%.

    FIRE BABY!

see all
