"Hi Smiling dog1, thanks for your comments above. yes, I have also used the solid body idea you mentioned. I thought the box in question would not have lent itself to a decent acoustic sound, so I did the same. profile=RESIZE_710x"…"

"You have a good design there, like the blocking for the tail and neck support. Your sliding bridge is another great idea. My alternative design is to fill the box with solid wood, then route pockets for pickup & wiring. That way I can attach a…"

"Hi, I have plans for my early builds as I wanted to make them repeatable. But repeating a CBG is awfully hard for me as I enjoy the freedom of random building. My plans would not be of much use to you as you possibly have a different neck, different…"

Are there a set of plans for a six string Cigar box guitar?

I searched through older threads. I found a couple that could be helpful but the links did not work. I have the guitar neck of my first ever guitar. Sentimental to me. I want to use it in the build. I have made ukuleles and guitar amps but I have never made and electric six string. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.See More
