Cigar Box Nation founder, Shane Speal recently completed this 3-string electric cigar box guitar and blogged about the entire creative process.  The blog also contains a section on how to mod an acoustic Gold Foil Pickup to make it a top-mounting electric pickup (as seen on this guitar). 

This guitar was also chosen as our feature because the skulls reminded us that it's almost Halloween and our Halloween Build-Off Contest ends this Sunday!!! 

...But wait!  There's more!

Cigar Box Nation member, Clark Rowden posted a follow-up article for these vibrato plans with a safer, less-wattage version of his own.
