Josh Gayou can make a guitar out of nothing. In his home garage in Lake Elsinore there aren’t walls and cabinets and drawers of tool after tool.
He can still park his SUV in the one car slot on the stainless light gray concrete while fully utilizing one side of the garage, where a narrow workbench is clean and simple with everything he needs to build a unique type of musical instrument.
A person can make this instrument with just some wire, a wooden cigar box and a broom handle.
Gayou goes one further by using materials for a more intricate design with poplar, some nails and bolts, glue, tuning pegs and more.
Also, with tools including a tuning machine, drill, various saws, pocketknife and file, soldering iron, assorted chisels and sandpaper and a few other things, a fancier cigar box guitar (CBG) is born.
