As for the cigar box guitar it reminds me of a mix between an Irish bouzouki and a baglama saz. Some of the interesting features of this guitar include shotgun shell volume and tone control knobs and a strange humbucker pickup that adds a slight spring reverb effect when played acoustically. The neck is nice and round so it fits comfortably in the hand. The action is a bit high just enough to play slide on it as well. Fretting it isn't too difficult as the string guage is pretty light. I have it tuned gdg in this video. Its always interesting to see how much improvement can be done over time.
Thanks for listening :-)
