build, new, homemade, cigarboxguitars, BackwaterJack

more homemade madness from Backwater Jack and NITRAM. the first guitar you see on its own in the vid is a made box body,with HOMEMADE strings. its thick,its heavy and its pretty rustic looking.the second guitar you see is something a little different.all i can say is its a bit like a bellow for a fire that dont blow.its a leather rapped side to the body.lovely sound.the third and final of the vid was built by me Backwater Jack (the other two were NITRAM designs) its more your standard style of CBGs.only the body was a much larger box converted into 2 smaller boxes.any questions feel free to ask.music by Seasick Steve...again... because hes cool.

thanks people.i think doohickies is the american equivalent of thingy-ma-bobs Brick?lol.sorry about them not being played yet didnt really have time once we had finished them last night.i may well do a more in depth vid about them and have a strum up on that later on today.the leather body one has a cool sound to it.i like playing that, but my fav is the hold em git (with 2 cards and a black fretless fret board) im a bit biased though coz i made that one myself.lol.

Yeah, Clockwork hit the right description. They are innovative cool and 'aged'. How are they as players?
