That's a nice sound on the video. I like guitars, but the cigar box is a bit novel for me. I'd love to see what's behind the box though.

Lemme chime in and say these things not only look cool as hell, but play like mad... they have tone for days (which surprised me a lot).
Here's a video I made with one of Pat's cigar box guitars...

Thanks For the kind words Dan. Are you still playing yours much? Pat:ss
As a guitar player myself I can appreciate these. Thanks and those things sound a lot better than I thought they would. Very cool.:ss

Thanks . I just went back and listened to some of the videos. There is one called crossroads theme or some thing like that . It makes the hair on my neck stand up. I was using my dads old 59 gretsch amp with some effects. Man you want tone thats true tone to the bone. When I was making these videos I never practiced or played them over and over . Just one take makin it up as I go.Pat:ss

Dude, cigar box guitars have been played by the blues greats for decades. Check out Dballs clip and others - awesome sond (at least to me).
