Cigar Box Guitars for 1-Finger Cigar Box Guitar Slingers

All 2 and 3-string CBGs are not the same and some are more suitable than others for 1-finger playing. String action, tension, and spacing make a big difference in playability. My CBGs are simple and are designed to optimize ease of play. They also fit in standard ukulele gig bags so you can easily carry them with you.

There are excellent CBGs readily available from Etsy, eBay, C.B. Gitty, and other vendors, however, some may not be suited for 1-finger playing. They may excel at other musical styles and approaches to playing including slide. Some would also look amazing hanging in the den. Buyer beware!
