Welcome to Cigar Box Guitar Headquarters! The base camp for the Cigar Box Instrument Revolution! The stage for Prim Rock! Your barracks from now on.
CHEST OUT - PRESENT ARMS!
A comprehensive, interactive resource for ALL THINGS Cigar Box Guitar related. Music, pics & videos, history, CD & concert reviews, building tips/links, performance schedules, CD & Guitar sales, interviews, art and anything else y'all want. Or you can share your knowledge...
And find friends. Not your typical MySpace friends. Friends you'll get to know and collaborate with. Many of us go back years, and get to meet and gig or jam together.
You're now embedded behind the the front lines. Grab your weapons and join the brigade. Click on Ben Prestage's live video now before you finish reading this, then try to get back here to finish reading.
THAT'S AN ORDER, SOLDIER!

The 2007 Cigar Box Guitar Extravaganza was a bricks shook loose from the walls success, with 12 national acts performing a 14 hour concert at the Flying Monkey Arts Center in Huntsville Alabama. I started posting videos at 2007 Cigar Box Guitar Extravaganza Videos. More to come!
Max Shores was on hand with a 4 camera crew to shoot footage for an upcoming CBG documentary!
We have our own 24/7 Cigar Box Guitar Music internet radio station. Check out THA GOAT for a new soundtrack to your life.
Check out Insurrection Records as a place to start your Cigar Box Guitar CD music collection.
Visit me at TedCrocker.com to see the guitars and gear I build. Are you a builder? Send us a link to your creations.
We're also working on CBG merchandise (T-shirts, caps, mugs, mousepads, hoodies, etc). Send us a logo design for consideration. If you already have merch to sell, send the link to be posted here.
Contact me, Ted, with any data to post, questions or suggestions.
Bookmark this page and check back to keep tabs on the weird and wonderful world of Cigar Box Guitars.
REMEMBER, CBG HQ can only work if it's interactive. That means we need your input and cooperation for it to achieve its purpose. Right now we want links to your MySpace page or website, MP3s or videos of your music, photos of your gear, articles on building and playing, your gig schedule, music reviews and any news & tidbits of info that should be shared.
The CBG Revolution relies on intelligence shared with all the troops.
May peace and happiness fill your cup May the sun find you smiling when it comes up May you never face hard times all alone May the road be smooth you’re traveling on
