What strings are used on a 3 string cigar box guitar?
Three string cigar box guitars tuned to D or E use the 6th, 5th and 4th strings. I prefer Elixir nano web strings because they are slippery and your fingers glide easily across them and they last a long time. You can use any brand strings you like. D’ Addario, Ernie Ball, Martin all make good strings as well.
