Historical one-string cigar box fiddle discovered! This fiddle comes from Minnesota and features a wrap around oak neck. The tuner is made from a bent nail. Now part of Shane Speal's Cigar Box Guitar Museum collection.

Very cool. And I'm intrigued by that nail tuner!

That's a cool method for the neck. It looks like you could adjust the neck angle with that attachment bolt.

This kind of construction would work great on a gas can guit too.
