Here's my latest cigar box guitar project. I recorded this riff while setting it up and testing it. It's made from a Punch cigar box and has a humbucker pickup in it. I wired up a volume and tone control and added a spin a split circuit to make the humbucker into a single coil when needed. It's running through a BOSS DS-1 distortion pedal into the clean channel of a Peavey Bandit 65 amplifier. Was a fun project.

Thanks Uncle John! I took it to an open mic last night but forgot to take the slide. I'll try it again next week I reckon. See you 'round!

Thanks John! That's my buddy Pootie in the floor. He tolerates my picking pretty well. We spend a lot of time jamming. See you later!
