~The King's Family!~
The Coontown Troubadour 1891
From Robert Johnson to Muddy
Waters and even the great Lightin'
Hopkin's; they all played the cigar
box guitar...Owning a Resonator was
all but a dream in poverty and buying
or playing a Martin or Gibson was
completely out of the question!

Below is a few different types of the same guitar I like to build. I call it the "Delta Blues Filed Harp"
I have made it in many different colors and wood types, but they all sing as dirty as the original.

THE LIFESAVER
This is by far the coolest cigar box guitar ever built by me.
This is an actual cigar box that was turned into a field
medic's box during world war 2.
During that time there was war rationing for the allies and
you had to make your own medics box to be a nurse and
work for the Red Cross. They most often used cigar boxes.
This white Owl cigar box was donated to me about 6 or 7
years ago by the original woman who uses it in the
battlefields of Europe.
It saved lives!
After she passed away, I saw no point in leaving it in the
back of my closet for no one to admire but me...you know
what comes next.... I beefed it up and made it into a
guitar....When people use the word "Mojo" it is usually very
generic...To have Mojo is something truly deep and very
very special...I can tell you this guitar has that real MOJO!
sorry sold...but click it and see more

This is C. C. Ryder...It has all
handmade hardware. The
Pickup is a Turtle shell (faux!)
Charlie Cristian 30's style, I
have been hand making all my
hardtails and I made this one in
nickel along with the hand
pressed trim rings I enjoy
making, When I am finished I
have all my work chromed or in
this case Nickeled for that 50's
feel and to set them apart from
any other guitar.

| Who needs Silver? Who needs Gold? Nothing fairs better for cigar box guitar than Brass be told! |
| Vintage Bell Brass, Nickel, Chrome, or Antique Battleship copper hard-tails all hand made all one of a kind. |
| Here are just a few samples of my Trademark Red Dog "Rock'it" Hard-tails, I build them in many styles in 3 and 4 string. |
If you have enjoyed the cigar box guitar
and Blues music on this site, I have many
more great songs....In fact I have
recorded a super fun CD and I can send
you one...Great for listing to while driving,
working around the house, or upload it to
any MP3 or CD player or even your cell
phone and you can listen to cigar box
guitar music on a sunny afternoon at the
park or where ever you want.
