I was able to wire it up, no problem. For that input jack issue I was having, I used the cabinet door pulls, as you can see from the photos.

As far as the cigar box goes...if it's made of wood, it's always made of Spanish Cedar. This is what cigars are typically packaged in because that type of wood maintains the humidity balance that cigars need. Most cigar boxes are either Spanish Cedar or cardboard which is packaged with Spanish Cedar blocks to maintain this humidity. All the boxes used on the guitars are wood, therefore they're Spanish Cedar. 

This isn't regular cedar that you normally would buy at Lowe's but it's a specific type of cedar (Spanish). Hope this helps.

That is helpful, good to know. I did not know they were all the same wood. The color seems to vary a lot from very white to dark under the paper labels. So those nice little liners I use for my bridges are Spanish cedar too?
