Jamaican Rounds Cigar Box Resonator Guitar

This is a little improv I played on my latest CBG, built as a contest entry for the CIGARBOXGUITARBUILDERS group on Yahoo.

If you like this, or would like to try your hand at building one of these yourself, then check out the group page; lots of photos, discussions, ideas, etc. Friendly people with a common interest, and new members are always welcome.

Is there a metal disc inside the box? 

[mightyluv]

@FreeTalkLive Yes there is; I installed a dollar store frying pan sitting on a frame. Thanks for asking.

@mightyluv I have watched hundreds of these cigar box videos over the weekend. This is the one that stands out from the rest. I want to build one like yours. How is the design inside?

[mightyluv]

@FreeTalkLive Nothing too intricate, really, just a frame of narrow wood pieces glued to the bottom of the box with added stops to keep the inverted pan from sliding around. String tension keeps it in place. Pretty basic, I think. Good luck with yours, don't forget to post some video of it so the rest of the world can see what you've been up to! Thanks for the nice compliment, I appreciate the positive feedback.
