Complete "Pure & Simple" Box Slide Guitar Kit - Kit to Build
This kit is for an unfretted 3-string cigar box guitar set up for slide playing - we even include the slide for you! We have pre-marked the hardwood neck with drawn fret lines to a 25-inch scale. We have also pre-notched the neck for the threaded rod nut, as well as the location of the special "Flying bridge". This kit builds the traditional "stick on top" style of cigar box guitar, in the style of mountain dulcimers where the neck rests on top of the box instead of running through it. The result is a nice loud CBG tuned with the popular "Open G" tuning of G D G, which is what most of the Youtube how-to-play video presenters use.
We gave this kit a full test-run at a special charity event out in Los Angeles in mid-august 2014, and it was fun to watch the attendees, many of whom were Hollywood movers and shakers, putting these kits together and then carrying them around the event grounds. If they can do it, YOU CAN TOO! Check out the photo of TV actor Adam Scott (best known for his role on the hit series Parks & Recreation), holding the SECOND guitar he built with his son that day.
