How to Make a Cigar Box Guitar Learning a brief history of the cigar box guitar should give you some serious inspiration to build one of your own. The cigar box guitar was originally a homemade instrument for individuals who couldn’t afford to buy an actual instrument. The trend took off in small African-American communities in the late 1800s and later during the Great Depression because of widespread poverty. The linked article below gives detailed instructions on how it is built. With cigar boxes being a bit more scarce, you'd think maybe oil tins could also work, but with EV vehicles coming oil tins will also disappear ;-) See http://ift.tt/1yw1FA1
