#1 resource for Cigar Box Guitars, Free Plans, How-To, Parts & More!

Nora

Sometimes a man will build a simple instrument. And sometimes that man will glue baubles and nicknacks to that instrument. And when you are a man... sometimes you wear stretchy pants... in your room... just for fun. :D

This is Nora, build #36, based on an MGB Zippy neck and featuring a sweet sounding MGB Box Bucker.
