Building Cigar Box Guitars

What kind of cigar box guitars do I make? Every instrument I make is a little different. The main difference is going to be if it's acoustic or electric.

  


Can I make one a little different just for you? Maybe. I get custom orders often. I build them much less often... maybe one every year. It does help if you've won a Grammy. If you can imagine a specification, a cigar box guitar can be built with that. You may not break the laws of Physics, but you can try.

Dude! I say I say .... dude! You know that feeling you get when you get a fresh axe for your collection that rocks? I've got that goin' on right now. The thing is solid, looks awesome, and the low action is better than anything else I own. And I haven't even plugged it in yet!" -- A.J. Cannon

How much do they cost? Prices will vary depending on specifications. I build each guitar to suit the player.
