Happy Springtime, Cigar Box Nation!
- We discovered a video of African musicians showing how to build a gas can guitar.
- Glenn Watt transcribed a classic Grateful Dead tune for 3-strings.
- There's also some great cigar box guitar "hacks"
- And a live video of 'Nation member (and Gospel rock legend) Glenn Kaiser
- Plus more stringed awesomeness.
Don't forget that Gitty is giving away $100 in cigar box guitar parts every week. You need to be signed up to their newsletter to enter. Here's the link:

Hailing from the Kingdom of Lesotho in Africa, Sotho Sounds is a group of funky shepherds who play their own instruments. In this video, they show you, step-by-step (with a bit of tongue-in-cheek) how to build your own African gas can guitar. Don't forget to burn the can first!!!

"Dixie" the steampunk banjo by Mark C. This axe is all kinds of cool...from the E. P. Carillo style wooden cigar box to the trumpet parts, sound hole horns...and is that a drawer handle for the tailpiece? Wow! See more pics + all of Mark C's photos here.
