This was a very fun build. Be sure to check out Part Two to see how it came out, and to hear me plug it in. M~

Really like the dowel for attaching the neck. Very good video. Thumbs up.

After making my first 2 3 strings I am wanting to make a 6 string. So glad you put these videos together!

Thanks for the shot of the work bench. I always thought it was me. It just takes a lot of tools to build a CBG. Great job.

"But thats the good part. Its not supposed to match, because it's homemade goodness baby" LOL. Thanks Michael.

You do good work and are enjoyable to watch.

It is really a lot of fun seeing you building a sigarbox gitar. Thanks for sharing the video.

I liked it. Especially the good intentions to keep an organized work bench as you work, but as you know, good intentions get lost as we work on a fun project like this. Our enthusiasm overcomes all reason, me we just keep going. I know the feeling. Also, the time flies as I work on a new project, and all of a sudden it is 1 a.m.

Great stuff thanks for the video 👍. I have a Jazz bass neck. I'd love to use your concept and build a CBG bass. It would probably be neck heavy and drop like a rock 😂

[stevesstrings]

Looking good! Great minds think alike! I have acquired a couple of cheap guitars and an additional neck with the same idea in mind. Now, if I can just find the time to build them! I look forward to part 2!

I am trying this on a very nice and maybe a bit large wine box and this is my first video to help me with this next in a series of bad ideas guitar projects.

[ethansteele]

How do you get the action of the neck right? Can you adjust it without breaking anything?

[mr.skittles]

Does the pick up have to be that far from the bridge or can it be closer?

Also great stuff btw 👌

[scottcalberry]

Is this neck a full size guitar neck?... like one you’d find on a Strat or Tele?
If not, would a full size Strat or Tele neck work?

[rstarguitar]

My workbench always looks like that while building

[RockStarOscarStern]

What if you could build a 6 string Cigar Box Guitar for cheaper by taking an already made 4 string CBG & replacing the neck? It would save you money.

[ninaneher]

Thinking about making one for myself. I'm wondering if a Fishman single coil acoustic pick up would work instead of the humbuckers. Would have to make a larger sound hole of course. What are your thoughts on this idea?

[LePageChannel]

Can someone tell me how many times he said "cigar box guitar"?

[TonyBrown-lfnj]

Yeah I'm pretty sure your being watched lol .

How to screw up guitars by laziness of putting twelve frets on a wooden bar and making three holes in it ... (sorry, i laugh, I do not speak English, I think I do not understand the concept since a cigar box costs less than 20 € to manufacture fully)
