It's a three string acoustic instrument built from a paper covered box and played with a slide. It has burnedin fret lines, but no real frets. Fretted ThreeString with Piezo Pickup: This project uses a nicer cigar box and has a more decorative headstock. It also has real metal frets and three strings. In addition, this one incorporates a very simple piezo pickup so it can be played through an amplifier. It is slightly more complex in woodworking terms and involves a bit of wiring and soldering. SixString Electric Guitar: This one would be built from a cigar box and a prefabbed sixstring guitar neck. It would use commercial pickups and volume/tone controls. Picture it as a tribute to the Fender Telecaster! It involves more complicated woodworking and much more wiring/soldering, as well as filling much of the box with wood to support the tension of six steel strings.More than just a howto guide, this book chronicles the modern revival of the cigar box guitar.
