Here is a unique cigar box guitar (actually if a CBG wasn't unique that would be something unusual in itself) featuring a so-called "pyramid"-shaped La Flor Dominicana cigar box, four strings, and a fully fretted neck.

- 3-string Boat Oar Guitar
guitarz.blogspot.com: Do you really need me to write an in-depth blog post about this boat oar guitar? It's a boat oar, strung up with three strings and with a pickup mounted on it, and would be used for sldie playing in cigar box star style. Currently...

Unusual "pyramid box" La Flor Dominicana 4-string cigar box guitar
