Home made guitars

I have a new hobby.


Cigar box guitars.  You just need an old box, a piece of wood and some bits and parts to make a great sounding instrument.

The brick house was my first guitar, it is a fretless 3 string guitar (GDG).  I finished this one about a month ago.
I just finished the Romeo and Juliette guitar this weekend.  This one is fretted and again 3 strings.  I originally had it tuned to GBE like a regular guitar but the neck looked like it was bowing a bit so I tuned it down to FAD and it plays great, and I still play it just like a regular guitar.






Here is a rough video of me playing the Brick House guitar.  This song is my version of Book of Mormon Stories.

This is a song that we sang in church when I was a kid.

Book of Mormon stories that my teacher tells to me...

Here is a link to the real song if you were wondering.

enjoy!
