      A good musical instrument is a good musical instrument!
      I recommend a visit to Lapu Lapu City, Mactan island, Cebu… and get one of the guitar builders there to make you an excellent guitar… Or contact lutier Junx Muana, in Lahug, Cebu City, Philippines….
      Junx Muana builds some of the best guitars in the world.

      This was fun watching the utube videos of the cigar box guitar. I haven’t seen anything like that before. And I would agree with Marlene, if you have a good musician and you have a cigar box guitar then you will get good music.
      thanks for the post
