Cigar Box Guitar

My brother-in-law is a fantastic musician. He primarily plays guitar, but he also plays trombone and drums.

One of his favorite things to do is play home-made and strange instruments.

So i decided to make him a cigar-box guitar for his birthday.

I made everything out of recycled materials, except for the tuners and strings.

I got used cheap tuners at a local guitar shop and an old cigar box from a friend. Then I just went to work. The neck is made out of red oak, and the fretboard is made from the wood inside the cigar box. I made the frets out of wire coat hangers.

Anways, here is the finished product. Let me know what you think!
