<p>with so much extensive woodwork on the neck, fingerboard/fretboard, headstock, tailpiece, why use a cigar box for a guitar? bwahahaha</p>
<p>It is very cool, agreed.</p>
<p>so a lyre has the CBG equivelants of a headstock, nut, saddle distinct from the string anchor points, a harp has the string anchor points and saddle integrated and indistinct from each other....fascinating</p>

<p>It looks like a very straight forward build. One nice thing about harps (by definition, this is actually a lyre because of the use of a bridge), is that you can use just about any measurement for the string lengths as long as there is some compensation (neck angle) to accomodate for the string lengths. Pretty much you could just approximate everything according to the scale of the cigar box.</p>

<p>I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing that the hollowed and lightened neck must also be adding to the harp's overall volume - acting as an additional resonating chamber.</p>

<p>Coolness factor is great. But, it does somewhat beg the question as to why use a cigar box when there is such extensive woodwork already. That aside, it sounds great....so, plus 1 for that. :)</p>
