Cigar Box Guitar No.2
Sunday, February 8th, 2009A local cigar shop hooked me up with a bunch of cool cigar boxes. I’m making a few more 4 string slide guitars to give to friends and maybe sell. Here’s the first of the new batch. Oak neck, mahogany fingerboard, cherry tailpiece, rosewood bridge and saddles.
As you can see I used a colorful Partagas brand wood and tape box. I managed to get the intonation right on this one and it sounds a bit better then number 1. The tone is much better then I expected. Dark and twangy. This will sound mean with some distortion!
The Strat style headstock has an image I cut from the inside of the box.
