This is my first build. I know it's not a "real" cigar box guitar. I couldn't find a cigar box locally and got impatient to build it, lol

Classic CBG. I agree with Brian. I often have built my own too.

Yea, don’t focus on what kind of box, there are lots of builds here without them. We like them just the same :)

Very nice! It's harder to do what you did than to use a pre-made box.
Very nice looking build!

It's in the style of a Cigar Box Guitar, which in my mind is the same as the real thing, at a rough guess, I'd say that 90% of the #424 builds I've done so far, are home made box's etc, but I refer to all of them as Cigar Box Guitars!  :-)

It's a box, it's a stick, it has strings...looks pretty authentic to me!  :)
