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. 
We do make Resonator Cigar Box Guitars (available in 3 String, 4 String, and 6 String)  except we choose a unique cover for ours.   Check em out at in our on line store... <Click Here> or cut an paste http://www.sanercigarboxguitars.com/our-online-store.html

Check out the demos below provide by Reed Turchi of the band TURCHI and Devil Down Records.

22   18.344"    0.425"  (21-22) 

I always measure from the nut to each fret. 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.
