Can you believe it?

It makes me want to build one. Has anyone else out there come across this kind of stuff before?

That's what I'm talking about! Some of these instruments have bolts for nuts and bridges. It just cracks me up. But talk about tone!

In a small town south of me they have a Cigar Box Guitar Museum, a music store that specializes in custom models, a festival and other things. Here is one of the makers sites:

Here we are in 2007. We spend tons of coin on guitars/amps to get a tone that sounds like an instrument made out of a broomstick and cigarbox. These instruments sound good! I've got to dig up plans on building electried versions of these. It just doesn't get any more primal than this!

I believe the blues artist known as "Supachicken" makes and sells them. From what I understand they're available in Clarksdale,MS.

I am ashamed. I know it's just plain wrong. But I like it anyway. Having said that, I'm not going to trade in my Chappy Super Strat (ssh & maple neck/fretboard & tobacco burst) for a Scooby Doo lunchbox slide guitar anytime soon.
