If you plan to play or build cigar box guitars it’s a good idea to be familiar with the guitar parts, terms and their related definitions. As did my research to get started with this hobby I came to realize two things I think are important to share.

A cigar box guitar is typically an empty cigar box repurposed as a resonator used to build a simple and often primitive guitar. Early ones had one or two strings, today they typically have three or four strings. But the fun part about them is there are no rules!
