That was a crazy looking guitar Paul was playing. Something Billy Gibbons or Bo Diddley would play. It sounded like a slide guitar but he was using his fingers or did he have a slide on, I couldn't tell.

If anyone can identify the guitar Paul used I'd really like to know!

It was a cigar box resonator guitar. Not sure of the brand. Lots of people make cigar box guitars. Look on Etsy.com or eBay.


Here's one guy that makes 'em: http://www.deepcreekstrings.com/2008...-guitar-2.html

I kinda disagree here...a cigar box guitar can be almost anything you want it to be as long as you can tune it properly...my CBG makes a perfect tenor guitar.
