Welcome to Cigar Box Nation ("CBN" for short). I think you'll find that making cigar box guitars a very rewarding past time (fun and interesting), and you could even turn it into a business. India has a very rich music culture that is so different from the West. I think the CBG could be modified to suit your culture by exploring different fretboard designs, like building dedicated pentatonic fretboards that are easier for beginners to learn to play. Then, once you found the right fretboard to go with, you'd have a unique product you could sell in India. I am currently exploring different dedicated fretboards to see if I can develop an CBG more suitable to traditional Chinese music, which often is based on one of several different Pentatonic scales. I live in China, an American expat. Selling the Delta Blues here in China is a much bigger challenge than to build and sell guitars. So, maybe modifying the guitar will be the key.
