Quality Cigar Box Guitars for Sale

Cross Knives Cigar Box Guitars

We have officially joined the "cigar box guitar revolution" and now offer the highest quality, custom made creations for your musical enjoyment.  The cbg is a primitive chordophone with a very long and colorful history; it uses an empty cigar box for a resonator. Early instruments had one or two strings compared with the three or more used in today's models.  

 A cbg is generally tuned to an "open" chord, which means they are easy to play. They can be played as an acoustic, electric or slide.

Today's expansive selection of strings and pickups has  taken the cbg's performance to the next level. As both a player and experienced luthier, I am committed to producing the highest quality, custom made cbgs at affordable prices and offer a wide range of design options and accessories.

A sample:

Red, one of my personal CBG's, an electric three string screamer, shown with optional  body attachment.

This model features a fingerboard with .023 pre-cut fret slots
