Hi Open Mike.

There was a thread not long ago on the subject of cigar box banjos
and guitars, put cigar box in the forum search and you will find it.

The site given on that thread was,

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cigarboxguitars

Hope this helps, it's a good subject....and I'm still hanging on
to a nice, (although plywood), chocolate box, I'll get round to
making one, one day.

There are of course,several sites out there on making you're own
instruments out of bits, this one especially.

Well worth a look.
