True inspiration

Yea cigar box guitars are not a new phenomena but they are fun. Might be the most famous guitar box player was Bo Diddley. His guitar in this vid is a bit more advanced than the guy in the other vid, but some of his early stuff shows a basic cigar box. Just a side note, you still have to outfit it with pick-ups, and electrics to amplify. I posted another for fun.:D:lol:

Guitar is an old skateboard, with a twirly Dr Suess-ish cat-in-the-hat top. Modified bass strings; electric pickups randomly attached somehow. Uses a half-filled whiskey bottle as a slide.

This video doesn't do them justice. They are awesome (and really funny) live. :cool:
