"Okay Frank I am going to bite on this one...I do not have a lot of $ to spend, so my questions are, how much do you want for each box? Will you give a discount on multiple boxes? How big is your biggest box (length, depth, width)? Do you have the…"

Cigar Boxes

Idon;t post here much, I am a lurker.  I am still learning and don't have much productive to add.  I did just pick up another 40 cigar boxes from the shop near where I work and don't nearly have a use for all 60 or so of the boxes I now have.  I am offering them pretty cheap to forum members by the box or by 5 or by 10.  I can get more.  Let me know if you are looking for anything specific, I have a lot of different types, sizes, and brands.  I don't care if you buld them and sell them, or if…See More

CF Fretboard

I am thinking of modeling up a carbon fiber fretboard, or maybe a whole neck. Any wisdom to add out there? I have done CF work several times with custom car mods. I am in the middle of my first CBG build and cannot do it w/o going crazy. What can I say, it's just my style. I just bought 25 cigar boxes. If I can get it mocked up with some help here I will offer free mold rental(auto parts store style). You pay cost and get your money back upon return. I know of a few acoustic guitars that use CF…See More
