Suppose the original box contained pipes or cigarillos?  What about loose tobacco?  What if the box was originally used for something else, but held cigars at some point in its existance?  What if you are diametrically opposed to the legalization and distribution of tobacco and other addictive substances?

The rules state:

"The instrument shall prominently and visibly feature a cigar box in the design."

So the box does not have to be a cigar box. You could use a wine box, but it is up to you as to how you will prominently "feature a cigar box" in their design.

I'm quite surprised that with this and other competitions in the past you only need to send pictures in and no sound clips or video of what it sounds like.

Isn't the sound the whole point?? I know some of the things people build on here are works of art, but shouldn't they sound good too??...maybe it's just me. Rant over,lol!

i'm with bemuzic, theres no point in building a guitar to look at, it better play and sound good to be contest worthy

No, it does not have to be a new build, though we certainly encourage folks to build new instruments.

Can I duct tape a cigar box to a 1959 Gibson Les Paul?  Would that qualify?

Put any of your photos in the other thread. I am trying to keep all the contest photos in the same thread.

It plays and sounds great electric or acoustic. Ive already sold it so I cant make a video of it.
