A Changing Time - 12.12.12 concert with Paul McCartney Playing a resonator Cigar Box Guitar.12/22/2012 Yep, that is Sir Paul McCartney playing a cigar box guitar. I'm told by the builder that it was given to him by Johny Dep who is also a Cigar Box Guitar Player him self. It seems that it the guitar part of Sir Paul's regular instruments since he used the same guitar later in the week while preforming on Saturday Night Live. When we saw this clip..... "Holly Sh#@ a F@#%ing Beatle is playing a Cigar Box Guitar" and we couldn't be happier, for the builder and for shedding some light on to our cigar box guitar movement.

Not fret to fret because if one is off then all of the ones after it will be too. To convert these to fractions use a decimal to inch converter that can be found on the web they all work about the same. |
