hey everybody, If you ever get into Barnes and Noble look in the gifts section. I don't know if all the stores have them ,but here in Rockford Ill. they have a short scale "Cigar Box" guitar for $30 bucks. It's got every thing in the package. I didn't buy one ,but I just wonder if They are any good. They look cool. I might have to break down and get one just for kicks. Cheeper for what I can make a nice one for. Just thought I'd let y'all know. Shalom!!

I was just in B&N last night and saw this. Was thinking of taking a pic and posting it here. Should have realized that I was late to the game.
That's the one I seen. Neat wee box!

"""Cigar Box Guitars have gone mainstream! I found this at Barnes and Noble today, it's a little "Blues Box" guitar kit. Comes with guitar, bolts for nut and bridge, strings, glass slide, and very basic instruction booklet, and CD, just string it, tune it, and play. Not a bad little kit really, for the price. Neck is oak, tuners are cheap but functional, body is cardboard wrapped with paper printed with woodgrain and cigar box-like labels. It has f-holes and includes a piezo for amplification if desired. 21" scale. This is a mass produced, inexpensive introductory instrument, the action is high (this is strictly a slide guitar), and the body is not super durable, but it is functional and fun to play.
With such high profile celebrities like Johnny Depp, Paul McCartney, Jack White, and others (many more, less well known) being seen with cigar box guitars, it's was only a matter of time until they caught the public eye.""
