Tuning is fine. Think it was a combination of the neck glue setting and the strings stretching.

No such thing as cheating when comes to building cigar box guitars. You just run with what you got. Great looking build. Play it loud, play it proud.

John,
cheers and hope so. Saw a flyer for your fest last year but didn't come. Hope to come to this years.

Douglas,
I don't know the correct terminology but that's not the paper off the box but the flap that would fold over the cigars inside the box.
Trimmed to size and glued with a bit of Pritstick paper glue.
