Description: We created this cigar box guitar kit with one goal in mind - to make a kit that would allow pretty much anyone put together a real, playable cigar box guitar in about an hour at the kitchen table, with only a screwdriver - and we succeeded! This kit contains all of the parts you need to complete your cigar box guitar - the box, neck, hardware and strings. Everything is pre-drilled and pre-marked, so that all you have to do is put in the screws, tap in the string ferrules, string it up and start playing. It really is as easy as that! This is a perfect "Sunday afternoon" kit for a parent or grandparent to build with a child!Click here view the full video on how to Build, Tune and Play this instrument.This kit is for a FULLY FRETTED 3-string cigar box guitar, which you can play notes and chords on similar to a conventional 6-string acoustic guitar. This kit builds the traditional "stick on top" style of cigar box guitar, in the style of mountain dulcimers where the neck rests on top of the box instead of running through it. The result is a nice loud CBG tuned with the popular "Open G" tuning of G D G, which is what most of the Youtube how-to-play video presenters use.We gave the unfretted version of this kit a full test-run at a special charity event out in Los Angeles in mid-august 2014, and it was fun to watch the attendees, many of whom were Hollywood movers and shakers, putting these kits together and then carrying them around the event grounds. If they can do it, YOU CAN TOO! Check out the photo of TV actor Adam Scott (best known for his role on the hit series Parks & Recreation), holding the SECOND guitar he built with his son that day.As mentioned above, this kit contains all of the parts and materials you need to complete your guitar, with complete illustrated assembly instructions so that there is no guesswork or confusion. All you need is a screwdriver and hammer from your kitchen junk drawer. It just doesn't get any easier than this kit. PLEASE NOTE: the exact parts, cigar box and hardware included in the kit may vary slightly from that shown in the photos - but don't worry, you'll get everything you need to build an AWESOME cigar box guitar!
