The Cigar Box Guitar Revolution is sweeping the country. Builders and players are discovering a brand new hobby from years ago. Beginning in the late 1800s musicians would sometimes build their instruments from Cigar Boxes. This was inexpensive and was often the only way for a musician to acquire an instrument to play. Today, building instruments from Cigar Boxes is a way to return to our roots, a great way to be creative, and a wonderful way to meet new and interesting friends. Welcome to the world of Cigar Box Guitars.
