    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    • @-jank-willson
      @-jank-willson Рік тому +1

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

    • @-jank-willson
      @-jank-willson Рік тому +1

      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

    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😉👍🏼🇺🇸

    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
      @homebuiltshop  2 роки тому

      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.

    • @joseislanio8910
      @joseislanio8910 2 роки тому

      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.
