Cigar Box Nation

#1 resource for Cigar Box Guitars, Free Plans, How-To, Parts & More!

Cigar Box Nation is sponsored by C. B. Gitty Crafter Supply, your one-stop-shop for Cigar Box Guitar parts and accessories!

Here is my latest, a 21" scale, maple neck with oak insert, ebonized fretboard, maple and welding rod bridge.
I am getting better at playing and find it easier to get my fingers in their without touching the next string, BUT, I made 2 cuts in the Lignum Vitae nut and moved the one string over a bit. When I get the hang of it I can move it back to a more even spacing.
Strings tuned to G A G to try and do sme KenniLee walking baseline from his CD.
Cheers Ron.

I did one last night and took some photos I will put them up today if I have time. I used steel wool soaked in vinegar, and wiped it on, simple really.
Cheers Ron.
Very nice, love the look
Yep, that is very pretty, love the neck and head.
