We’ve all heard
about a famous bluesman or country singer that started his career on a simple homemade cigar box guitar. With a list
of artists including Jimi Hendrix, Roy Clark and Carl Perkins, the cigar box guitar has been the precursor to many great careers
and countless inspiring stories. It’s a wonder that nobody has documented its magnificent history until now.

This information is still being written and I will post it when time allows. Some of these articles could be
described as "sidebars" or "supporting evidence" (such as the ultra cool Willie Joe story).
Either way, each gives a fascinating glimpse into the creativity and amazing do-it-yourself spirit that I find so magical. For more CBG history, pictures and art, please
