I'm planning a 4 string and intending to make my own box. I haven't had a chance to even see an actual cigar box guitar in person yet! I'm wondering if a square shape feels weird on your leg. I know it's going to be a lot lighter than my Epiphone Les Paul, but am wondering if it's a good idea to incorporate some curves on that side of the box?

The leg doesn't bother me at all.
I find that I tend to rest my arm on the box and the edges and corners dig into my forearm a little.
My Sawzall boxes weigh in at 9-11 lbs. I find them pretty easy to play seated, but standing for a long time can be a challenge.
That guitar looks so much cooler when you see someone playing it.
Thanks Rob. Hopefully we see someone in Chicago playing the electric version. Shipping today.
Less than that! I have pulled out a couple black locust fence posts and rusty barb wire from the property lines. The old farm dump was the drop-off behind my barn/workshop. Lots of rusty bits back there.
Love the snow, the fire, and your overalls . . . it completes the vibe!
Thanks Jo. I'm a farm boy living in the suburbs. I do my best to work hard and have fun outdoors, but it can be difficult on 1 acre of land.
I got sick of having two feet of snow in the yard around our back patio so I took the snow blower out and cleared out an area big enough for a little outdoor cooking. We had the neighbors over for a few afternoon brews in the sunshine and the kids were jumping on the trampoline behind me.
A true outdoors person does the outdoors thing no matter what, right? Even in the suburbs and whatnot.
unless we are talkin about something like this beast .
