I never would've guessed in a blind test that this sound could come from a cigar box guitar. Great job!

Thanks. This one sounded awesome.

Great stuff. I do love the cigar boxes with less strings, but it's particularly cool to see a full 6 string one in action, especially with some shred action!

My cigar box that im getting is gonna sound something like yours with TWO double lipstick pickups, and its only 150$! I've never owned a guitar but I fell in love with cigar boxes and hearing you shred on the distortion pedal gives me hope as someone who wants to play metal and folk punk. I gotta snatch this thing up today!

I build 3 string cigar box guitars and it's great to see you build one for a competition (though you know 6 strings ARE 3 strings too many)... The through box block is a bit of overkill imho 😆 also, an advantage of 3 strings is you don't need a truss rod.. Nice fret markers.. I occasionally use superglue and baking soda, built up and sanded flat it has a mother-of-pearl look... All in all a great build!! Very precise and clean! And I love all your jigs especially the double yardstick neck/bridge aligner!

4 string (tenor) CBG's are the best! 6 strings are 2 strings too many, 3 strings are one string too few.

Also if you have a 6-stringer just pair up the strings (with a modified nut and bridge) so it is 3 courses of 2 strings (like a 12-string guitar). 3 string/course instruments are so easy to play, whether they be CBG's, Basses, Dulicimers, Balalikas, Strumsticks, or 3-string Banjos

Thanks for the video. Answered a lot of questions for me about using this platform.

Lots of great construction details here. Loved the end result.

Looks and sounds great!! Awesome work Jeff.

Great creation Brother Southpaw. The neck is absolutely beautiful. I have been thinking one piece thru neck but you just changed my mind. I give it Five Awesomes!

Thanks! I wanted to do something different from the traditional CBG.

I'm upgrading the neck on my strat and plan to use my old neck on a 6 string box build using a Hawaiian chocolate box, with a similar pickup (mine's black not gold). This video helps me to see how to approach my build. Fantastic job on the neck and rest of the guitar, really good.

Nice. I have an old Strat neck I may use for something like this.

I'll be honest Jeff, I saw cigar box and I was like "Oh Gee whiz, Really?"👀 😧BUT😧 THIS is a really good looking build, you dont see CBG's that look thus nice. Great job, and a really classy looking build. Now, can you buy your demo guy a ProCo Rat plug in for whatever digital amp modeler he uses so it can sound like real distortion 🤣😂🤣🍻 those Ampfx digital sounds are so bad😉👍🏼🇺🇸

Thank you! This is a brand new build. You can typically get cigar boxes from a cigar store. If you just go in and ask, a lot of times you can buy them pretty cheap, or in some cases, you might get some for free.

Here's a link to the full sound demo on the Hayley Guitars channel. kzread.info/dash/bejne/p4Zhk5d9YNjVd7w.html This guitar can currently be seen in the Builders Corner at Square Music in Colorado Springs, CO. This is the only music shop I know of in our area that features locally built instruments. Stop by and see all the awesome instruments they have available.

I wanted to build a 6 string CBG for cheaper by modifying my 4 string CBG into a 6 string. I wanted to replace the neck w/ a Fender Neck.

I have just started a maintenance job on a campus and looking to get into carpentry, do you have any tips for someone who wants to start making their own guitars ?

I notice that you don't seem to use locating pins when gluing the fret board on. It looks like an easy way to insure that it doesn't slip I wonder why you don't use locating pins?

@homebuiltshop

2 жыл бұрын

I've tried pins on several builds and it does help with slipping. I don't like the processes I've tried so far and the extra work of drilling and fitting the pins doesn't save me enough time to justify using them. I will keep trying out different methods but for now, this is the fastest way for me. I just make sure it doesn't slip and monitor it closely until the glue sets.

An easier way is just to use some table salt on the glue. It doesn't compromise the strength, and it "disappears" as it's soluble in the glue.

You are a very good luthier.But, in my opinion, it doesn't make much sense to build traditional electric guitars on a Cigar Box Guitar body.

Why a cigar box? You could have used anything with this style of construction it could have just as easily been a candy box or a hard cover book.
