Here are a few examples of the guitars that are available. A friend of mine and the Godfather of Cigar Box Guitars, Donald 'Boz' Bostwick, recorded this (1330KB mp3) and this (549KB mp3) sample on the La Gloria Cubana four string pictured below (sixth, seventh, and eighth from the left). Here is a 30 second (556KB mp3) sample of Microwave Dave playing the Fuente three string (second and third from left).
