Cooking with Gitty: Steve Larson's 3-string cigar box guitar

Build # 16 – 3 String CBG


I finished this build in late 2015 – before I read Glenn’s article “Improve your cigar box guitars by getting to know the anatomy and orientation of open gear tuners.”
Yep… I installed the tuners upside down. #alwayslearning
