Cigar Box Guitar Build - start to finish
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 гру 2023
- Build inspired mainly by @PuckettCigarBoxGuitar
But, I learned a lot about CBG building from also watching:
@SouthernFireGuitars for back angle and bridge making
@ChickenboneJohn for in-depth back angle video, especially
Supplies for building CBGs: @Cbgitty
I have also built a few 6-string acoustic guitars, so having that foundation helped immensely as well.
Here is the longer 4-part series on this whole build with detail and my thoughts at almost every step:
Part 1: • Cigar Box Guitar Build...
Part 2: • Cigar Box Guitar Build...
Part 3: • Cigar Box Guitar Build...
Part 4: • Cigar Box Guitar Build...

Thanks man! Thanks for the inspiration!
Great job and great sound. Thanks!
Thanks!
Awesome job!!!
Thanks dude!
Awesome little guitar.
Thanks! I really like it and it’s fun to play, too.
It's like a cross between a morin khuur and an alto balalaika.
Very nice. The slide neck is something you don't often see, reminds me of a morin khuur.
That came out very nice.
Thank you!
Fantastic job on this guitar build, from Eastern Kentucky
Thanks so much!
Looks good! sounds good too!
Thanks!
I like how you counter sunk amp jack.
Killer job! :D
Thanks!!
I found me in the video! Great work, Chris! I've wanted to build a cigar box guitar for a long time. It's still on my list.
It’s definitely fun. It’s like building a guitar, but with a lot less pucker factor at every step, lol!
Great!
Thanks!
Very percussive! Nice job! ❤👉
Thanks! It was a fun build.
Love it! I know it is less complicated than your acoustic builds but I am curious... What guitar building skills do you think someone could gain from making CBGs?
Thanks! I think the basics of lutherie can be learned making CBGs. For example, if one were to make one kinda like the one I did, one would learn how to cut and glue up a scarf joint, laminate veneers, true up surfaces, scale length, neck carving, fret slotting and installing, making a nut, how intonation works, and various other handtool related tasks. Building an acoustic guitar involves all those things, so it would definitely help to have done some of them, even if on a smaller scale. Plus, building CBGs is much much less costly than building a regular guitar, at least for me it is based on the guitars I have made so far. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
@@CMRWoodworks Thank you for the thoughtful and thorough response. I want to build an acoustic guitar at some point, but I'm thinking I should build some skills first and this looks like the perfect platform to hone those skills. Thanks again!
Hi man, awesome video, I have a question, what type of wood did you use to made the neck?
I used a piece of red oak from Lowe’s.
“I spilled some epoxy.” “Epoxy?…Im gonna go play outside” Glad to hear she shared your concerns 😂😂 wonderful video my man
Haha, thanks for watching!
very nice build, what was you choice of strings?
They were Southbound strings, if I remember correctly. I showed a screenshot of them in one of the videos of this build. This video was a compilation of a 4-part series that goes into more detail at each step.
Hello, beautiful guitar, how much do you sell it for?
This one was not for sale. I made it for myself.
@@CMRWoodworks ah ok but do you do it that way for sale?
Question, is it left handed or is my ocd kicking with the box and fretboard upside down..
It‘s a righty. I didn‘t pay attention to how I oriented things, lol. In fact, I didn‘t notice the box wad upside down until I was almost done with the build😅
У вас это сигар бокс, у нас это балалайка 😁
I knew I recognized you. Mia amiko!
Saluton, samideano! Dankon pro via spektado!
