<p>Thank you David, I'd say its not so much a lack of boxes of a decent size, but more a wish to do something different, I'd never seen a Cigar Box Guitar until after I started building Canjos.</p>
<p>I find the weight of the neck in contrast to the body rarely an issue. I may be a lefty player, but I am naturally right handed and have a stronger right arm for holding up the neck, plus there is a bit of counterbalance with the weight of the pine framework going through the tin itself. honestly…</p>

<p>I think you have done a great job. </p>
<p>Due to the lack of decent sized cigar boxes in the UK (to make a six string guitar with) all ideas on alternatives are good to see.</p>
