Build a Cigar Box Guitar

The Guitar Social is delighted to be hosting this workshop, delivered by the legendary Odd Box Eric. 

In just one day you'll be building your own electric Cigar Box Guitar. I did the first ever one of these over ten years ago and I still play mine to this day. 

This program offers insane value for money. Eric sells the very guitars you'll be making for two hundred and forty pounds. through this workshop you make your very own, for less. 

Here's the information direct from Eric himself. 

Our workshops are a fun way to build your own Cigar Box Guitar.

You need no woodworking skills - if you can draw and cut in a straight (ish) line then you can build your guitar. We are there to help you over the tricky bits and and rescue you from any mistakes that you may make. 

We supply all the parts (genuine Havana cigar box, hardwood guitar neck, NewTone  guitar strings - everything you need) and all the tools, and good company comes as standard.

We have a maximum group size of 12 people which gives us plenty of opportunity for individual support.

At the end of the day we string your new instruments, tune them up and spend some time enjoying an introduction on how to play slide cigar box guitar. You'll soon be playing "Foot Stompin" music.
