When The Wailing Rude Boys got together back in the early 60's in Trench Town in Jamaica, Isaac Livingstone made a similar one, but with a sardine tin instead of a cigar box. I think it was 4-string. He used some copper wire that he had scrounged, for the strings.
Livingstone and his two friends, Peter Mackintosh and Bob Marley, then formed The Wailers. Funny where big careers come from simple starts.
Livingstone is still going strong, but is now known as Bunny Wailer.
