Cigar Box Guitars For Sale
Welcome to Humidor Guitars.
What is a cigar box guitar? Many people have never heard of them, seen them, or heard them being played. But, these instruments are part of the cornerstone of American blues music dating back to the late 1800s.
During the late 1800s, impoverished people, often slaves, wanted instruments, but could not afford a factory made guitar, so they improvised with an empty cigar box, a stick and some string or wire. The cigar box guitar was born.
CBG for Desiree’ Bassett
Desiree’ Bassett is an extremely talented young lady who plays a mean guitar! She has a variety of videos on YouTube, and has a very promising career in the music business. You can read more about her at:
I built a 4 string fretted CBG for her, with a poplar fingerboard, and equipped with a piezo pickup. Here’s hoping she likes it.
God Of Fire guitar
I just finished what I wanted to be my personal guitar. I found a really nice God Of Fire box, that I thought would make a really nice guitar. I found some brass corner pieces at the craft store that looks really nice on it. I wanted some tuning pegs that were a little different, so I took some black ones off a 6 string neck I bought for a couple of bucks at a music store that was doing some closeout sales.
It has a bolt on neck, a bolt on tailpiece, and a piezo pickup. I added some brass strap buttons for good measure. The box itself is pretty narrow, so it doesn’t have much depth of tone acoustically, so I will probably use it with the amp most of the time.
