Back before I got into this crazy GB hobby, I played around with making three string guitars from old cigar boxes. It’s insanely easy and a lot of fun. My first two were not up to what I wanted (but, still a blast to build) and then, kids… Ghostbusters… Etc. About a month ago I got the itch to make one again and play around with it. I had an antique Cigar Box that my father in law found and a mini-practice amp that I had gotten off of the ebays for like $12. Here is what I made.
I’m now starting to learn to play it. You have to build one to learn one. (Or buy a pre-made one for $200) but if you want to hear what one sounds like, check this video -
