    Fantastic of you to show people how to make one! I like the rough-and-ready finish, it's actually looks like it's been made by a resourceful "amateur" rather than a "craftsman".

    That was lovely, Dimitri! I have made a couple of cigar box guitars and three stringed strumsticks, but even if I fret them diatonic I can't play them nearly that well. Sounds very pleasing for being made from such humble materials. Brilliant!

    WOW... after building many Cigar Box Guitars with cigar boxes and with license plate and self built cases this project keeps jumping into my mind.. i think i will do this little guitar my friend because it seems to be so fun to build with ready available wood and fun to play too.. thank you for your inspiration ..

    Hello.
    You can ask how the guitar itself is tuned. It's just that you inspired me, what would I do as a project for the school.
    So what octaves should you tune your guitar to?
    If you reply, thank you very much.
