Cigar box guitars were made and played by early American blues musicians. They stared through slave culture. They made them from whatever materials they had, mainly broom handles and the wire that held the straw on the broom.
There are a lot of people these days rediscovering these instruments, I am one of them. They can be made for next to nothing depending on what materials you use. (Wood broom handle, wire, box, a few bolts)
If you google or you tube cigar box guitars you'll definitely hear and see some cool stuff
