Camacho 2 - Cigar Box Guitar

Welcome!
In this video you can see me build the Camacho 2 - Cigar Box Guitar
Its a Comission for "Die Bullenschmiede" and a part of the payment was a handmade kitchen knife with one of the most expensive woods as the handle.
Camacho Corojo Box
Flamed/Roasted Maple neck
Ebony Fretboard
18 Frets
51,5cm Scalelength
Pearl and Abalone Dots + Sidedots
Scalloped Bone nut
EMG H4A Humbucker
1 Volume
1Tone
Tuning AEA (string gauges 36,26&17)
I made a few changes from the last Camacho cigar box guitar build and tried to improve the build!
Feel free to leave comments and ask questions ;-)
Luis,

Thank you! I love scalloped nuts and I think I will do them on all my build in the future!

[@Meridenoguitars]

Hey, thank you so much! The cigar box guitars were comissions for customers!

[@dgperforms1]

Very cool. I'm a builder as well. You earned a new Sub

[@Meridenoguitars]

Thank you ;)

[@therealjba]

Just a question : what kind of glue are you using for the frets ? Thanks !

[@Meridenoguitars]

Hey! Im just using regular titebond, sometimes I just hammer them in and put a drop of superglue on the fretends. But using wood glue fills the gaps and makes the whole piece one

[@therealjba]

@@Meridenoguitars i'll try it.... I'm using some gel superglue and although It's quite efficient, It's also a bit messy.

[@Meridenoguitars]

@@therealjba yes superglue is messy and will always spill everywhere when hammering the frets in. The good thing is that the titebond can be easily wiped off with a wet towel! ;)
