cigar box guitar

Straight outta boingboing

Out of Milk and Butter Blues played on cigar box guitar: "Mark Frauenfelder:


My old high school friend (who wishes to be called Blind Lightnin' Pete), built the electric cigar box guitar in Make 04. He also built a tiny batter- powered amplifier inside a cracker box for $5. (He mailed one to me, and it's beautiful).

Blind Lightnin' Pete is writing an article for Make on how to make one of these amps.

Here is a video of BLP playing 'Out of Milk and Butter Blues' on his cigar box guitar and cracker box amp.
