What is a cigar box guitar?
A Cigarbox guitar or delta blues guitar called CBG for short is a primitive string instrument that uses an empty cigar box as a sound box. The cigar box guitars usually have only 1, 2 or 3 strings. Most do not have frets on their necks (Fretless). It is played with the slider (Bootleneck). A bottleneck - as the name suggests; originally consisted of a broken glass bottle neck. Meanwhile, there are e.g. Bottlenecks made of glass, metal, ceramics, etc. The cigar-box guitars were very important in the early days of the blues. Most of these artists were black Americans living in poverty. Many could not afford a "real" instrument. So they built a guitar out of an empty cigar box. Anyone looking for a high-gloss guitar here is wrong. CigarBox guitars are handmade, so each one is unique and has its own sound. You'll find more about it here Wikipedia

- We use recyclable materials: If possible, use recyclable materials such as corrugated board or cardboard. There is also an environmentally friendly variant for the filling material, e.g. newsprint.
- We reuse cartons: If you receive returns, you can reuse undamaged cartons for a new shipment.
- We use filling material sensibly: Only fragile goods make paper or old newspapers necessary for padding. Even if the material comes unsolicited from the manufacturer, it is worth considering storing it for another shipment if the goods are robust.
