With a piece of oak, some string and a cigar box, John Park creates a three-stringed guitar. The cigar box acts as the resonating soundboard for the instrument. John then wires the guitar to a buck-fifty cassette-player amp and makes it really rock.

There is no such thing as “a tradition in cigar box guitars”, but sure, three strings is pretty common.

And this from a super power nation.
You should connect the cigar boxes via your string to a garbage bin for amplification.
