The most basic cigar box Guitars are built by simply attaching a cigar box to a 3' section of 1x3 hardwood and attaching strings by whatever means are handy. An extremely basic acoustic cigar box guitar can be completed in 15-20 minutes. More complicated instruments can take many hours to build. Sometimes the more complicated cigar box guitars incorporate professional quality parts into the design. Most modern cigar box guitars feature electric pickups and have amplified sound so they can be used on stage.
