Homemade Guitars

I've built several cigar box style guitars. I didn't use a cigar box, but it's more in the spirit of the cigar box than the box itself. Successfully building my first made me want to build others. It's also got me interested in all kinds of guitar design.

Civil Era
A small shop I created for selling homemade guitar related items.

Homemade Guitar
This is my first homemade guitar. A 3-string electric. It cost about $75 and took me a year to build (with a pause for the winter). I'll build the next one cheaper and faster.

A guitar built from dimensional lumber. A book is also available in the Civil Era shop above.

Homemade 2x4 Guitar
A guitar built from a 2×4 stud and a 2×2 railing support. Both commonly available at the local home stores and very cheap.

Pop Can Reso
This is a simple design for using a pop can as a reso for an acoustic.
