Finally finished with my first build. Action came out pretty high but it is fretless and will play with a slide. It doesn't seem to sound as good as some I've heard on-line though. Could be because I don't know what I'm doing with a slide also. I…

"Hi Mark. I used copper rivets to stop the strings digging into the wood at the tail and although they are OK (and I love the look) the strings manage to dig into them a bit. I'm not saying that the copper won't work and if it does I'm…"

"Yep, you have to watch what you buy. The Cigar Box Central site has the dimensions listed so you can make sure you are getting a box that is big enough to use for a guitar. I have purchased quite a few from them. "

"Most cigar stores have empty boxes around. The ones I visit usually charge 1-2 bucks for the paper covered ones and 5-7 for the all wood ones. If you are looking for a specific box, Cigar Box Central (ad on this site) sells them for what I consider…"
