MGB is a place for people with an interest in Cigar Box Guitars, the roots music phenomenon that is currently receiving unprecedented attention. Whether you are a newbie or a seasoned CBG veteran we believe there is something here for you. Our purpose is to provide help for those who are looking to buy a cigar box style guitar, or maybe some parts for your cigar box guitar or just a little inspiration.

The beauty of roots music is that people like us can craft a musical instrument that sounds pretty good. Check out the videos in our artist section to see how they sound. We especially encourage those who are new to jump in with both feet. Even if your skills are limited, you will be surprised with what you can do. Caution: building CBGs (as we call them) can be addictive. Before you know it, you will you will be getting lots of requests from family and friends.
