PIECES AND PARTS INSPIRATION

I have spent and spend a lot of time searching for STUFF to adorn my CBG's I can't walk in a department store with out scouring the walls and shelves looking for the next great IDEA. My wife thinks I'm crazy. says I have too many CGB's. When I am looking on e-bay for parts ,the longer I look the better deals I find . Most of the wood I use is reclaimed lumber , I'm buying Cherry and Maple at give away prices. There is a store here that sells metals hard woods, overstocks,  cabinet doors ,…

What got me hooked on cigarbox guitars was a video I stumbled on, if you haven't  seen it check it out. Justin Johnson  -Rooster Blues ! Also two others, Samantha Fish Band and Morelamd and Arbuckle, good jams !!!

scale length

Thanx Moritz, I checked out the video, really nice. My problem is that I have a 231/2" scale and my fret board is set up for a 251/2" scale On a 231/2" scale the fret spacing would be spaced differently, correct? But I'm sure it would play fine with a slide since  I'm not fretting.

Scale length

Just finishing my second build.I had some Walnut laying around for about 40 years or so, {HA}. It really turned out great, looking that is. I wanted the fretboard to overlap the box 2in., and I didn't compensate for a 251/2in scale. the scale length is now 231/2in. I'm guessing it will still be  ok for slide. fortunately I made the neck removable,{bolt on}.I'm going to build a new neck next week.
