Go to any market or swap meet in America, and you're likely to see
something amazing, affordable, and a great conversation piece. Canjos, Diddley
Bows, and Cigar Box guitars define Americana, and are always a big hit when
sold among crowds! Personally, I enjoy building, playing, and buying these
instruments because they are great display pieces and if built correctly, they
sound amazing as well! One guitar I've recently obtained was custom built by
Kevin Hamilton, owner of Hambone CBG (Cigar Box Guitars). It is a beautiful
three string cigar box guitar with an oak neck, Brazilian cherry fret board,
birch fret markers, a custom hardtail bridge, and a piezo pickup with a volume
knob. With twenty two frets, and flawless playability, this instrument is a
steal at only $200. I recently used this guitar to perform the ZZ TOP hit song
"La Grange" with my band PTO. There were no problems whatsoever! I make it a
point to play this guitar every night! For those of you that don't have $200 to spend on a new cigar box guitar, go to your local flea markets, you're likely to see a canjo
(guitar made out of an old tobacco tin or soup can) or two. But, for those of
you looking to impress the neighbors, and draw attention to yourself. Nothing
beats a high quality guitar made by someone who knows what he's doing and
trust me, Kevin Hamilton is incredible at what he does. I personally intend to have him custom make more projects for me. So, if you love Americana, cool display pieces, or amazing guitars, check him out! You won't regret it!
