内容説明
"Part DIY guide, part scrapbook - this book takes you behind the music to get a glimpse into the faces, places and workshops of the cigar box revolution.
"
Cigar box guitars have never been more popular and now you can learn to make your own. You don't need to spend a lot of money and you don't need to have a shop full of tools. All you need to do is follow the author's step-by-step instructions for making three different styles of guitar. They're fun (some would say addictive) to build and even more fun to play!
The guitars that can be made with this book:
- Basic CBG: A simple build with the minimum number of components. It's a three string acoustic instrument built from a paper covered box and played with a slide and has burned-in fret lines, but no real frets.
- Slightly Nicer CBG. Uses a nicer cigar box, has a more decorative, built-up headstock. Also has burned in fret-lines and three strings. In addition, this one incorporates a very simple piezo pickup so it can be played through an amplifier. Slightly more complex in woodworking terms and involves a bit of wiring and soldering.
- Cigar Box Telecaster. This one would be built from a cigar box and a pre-fabbed six-string guitar neck. It would use commercial pickups and volume/tone controls. I'm picturing it as a tribute to the Fender Telecaster. It involves more complicated woodworking and much more wiring/soldering, as well as filling much of the box with wood to support the tension of six steel strings.
More than just a how-to guide, this book chronicles the modern revival of the cigar box guitar. You'll learn a bit about its roots, influential personalities and the cultural trends that are bringing this instrument back to the musical landscape. Author and professional photographer, David Sutton introduces readers the faces of the CGB movement with in-depth profiles and photographic portraits of fascinating builders and performers.
Basic information about learning to play and tune a cigar box guitar are also included.
A perfect opportunity to put a real American tradition in your own hands.

One of the best books available on CBG's!
2012/3/22
形式:ペーパーバック|Amazonが確認した購入
This is the best book I have seen on cigar box guitars. There are a few other very good books, but this is the best. I really enjoyed reading the player profiles and found several to be very inspirational. I have been building CBG's for about a year and I take every opportunity to learn a little more about the history and maybe pickup a few tips here and there. This book is perfect for both. Very informative and awesome photography. Nice work David, appreciate your hard work!

Three Stringer
2012/4/10
形式:ペーパーバック|Amazonが確認した購入
I have purchased this for a friend who made a three stringer and
upon receiving this book has gone on to make a one stringer and
is now making a Diddly-Bow with intentions to follow that with a
Tea-Chest, Upright Bass.
He has hand carved the necks himself and found it easy to find
other components, all at a reasonable price
for a lifetime of enjoyment with friends.
This has been a very positive purchase - Skeif
