Testing a Cigar Box Guitar
One of my many ventures in the past few years has been a cigar box guitar crafting business. I've sold to a decent number of clients including Kerry Livgren from the band Kansas. Over the past few years, the local PBS station has asked me to donate one of my handmade guitars annually for their fundraising auction. This year, I decided to record a quick demo with the newly made cigar box guitar before I handed it off.
My guitars are acoustic-electric hybrids - this demo was recorded through a direct input from the guitar's pickups into a Fender amplifier. I played it with a glass slide, and other than natural EQ modification from the Fender amp, the only effect on this guitar's sound was reverb.
If you liked this instrument's sound, be sure to follow my guitar business's page on Facebook!

Man, I can't believe you actually make guitars from Cigar boxes, and that sound. Kinda reminds me of old southern blues.
@gregory-f submitted it for my series about unappreciated posts, so I just hopped over to give it some support. Please give us some more of these, it's really good. Keep up the good work. You are really talented.
I have to agree with you on that one.
Thank you! It's been a real passion of mine and gets a little tough sometimes, but every time I play a finished one I remember why I do it :) I really appreciate the support! I'll make sure to post more of my guitars as they're created, and as @gregory-f pointed out, always happy to sell one to a fellow Steemit user!
Very cool Brother, I second the question posed by @gregory-f ???
Thank you, and yes I would accept Steem or SBD! Would probably need to talk in private to arrange shipping details of course :p
Thank you Brother. I've followed you and will keep my eye out for that must have masterpiece you create. Thanks again!
That guitar sounds pretty cool. Would you accept Steem or SBD as payment if someone on Steemit wanted to buy a handmade cigar box guitar from you?
Thanks! And yes, I think setting up an order through Steemit would be fun!
