Hey thar Dan DeBruler, I took a peek at your CBGs....WOW!....simply outstanding. (And your photography ability is to be commended as well.)
Anyway, I really do thank ya for the 'plug' y'all gave me on here back in February 'bout my GittyMan CigarBoxGuitar Making Manual.
I gotta believe it is the simplest and most complete book around for them fellers just gettin' into this stuff. You mentioned easy to find parts and I have heard back from quite a few customers that the 'Parts List' (with prices and where to buy) is of great value to them.
Again, thank ya for your support pardner....

Thank ya much,

Howdy Ricky D,
You sent a message asking:
"Hey gang. I am brand new here and beginning my 1st build. This is gonna be a blast!
Question1: Does the neck have to touch the lid in any way? I am thinking of building it so the neck slips in under the lid, is scooped out so that it doesn't interfere with the vibes of the lid, and bring the finger board up equal with the lid.
Question2: Should the finger board be higher than the box lid?"
Make life easy on yourself, amigo....get Mordacai's CBG Making Manual at www.GittyMan.com and save your self a lot of grief.
At only $14 (and instant access) it is a no-brainer.
Welcome to the journey....

Makes sense...thanks Don
Hey John, I'm thinking you peel the green film off to stick it inside your box to run your wires thru so they don't flop around inside the box.
What is that little square patch in the picture??
....What is it used for...What does it do??
Thanks
John
