Hi everyone, i try to put a single coil, with only a mono jack on my new CGB's, i'm used to piezzo, and i got a massive ground problem!!!!!
I tried to put it on a string, the bridge, every metal part i could find, and still got a noisy buzz !!
Would it be simple, with a volume button, and the ground put on it back ??
If someone could help me i would be so glad !!!
(sorry for my english i'm french!!! but i try my best!!)
Hi All...
I came across this design by JP Swenson which does allow you to install a tuna can resonator in a narrow cigar box with a neck thru design. What he does is to cut the can down in two places to let the neck run through, and then he cuts the center out of the neck thru part of the neck to let the sound ring out a bit better. Here's the photo:

Hi James,
Your are pretty free to pick any size cigar box you want that can contain all that you want to put inside. You'll likely have to build several before you get a feel for the kind of instrument you like to build with a cone resonator, or what ever other kind of metal resonator you decide to use. Another factor is whether you are planning to use a bolt-on neck, or a neck-thru (or neck-almost-thru) design. Bolt-on necks allow you to use thinner boxes (less depth). Neck-thrus have to have the neck diverted down into the bottom of the box where it still takes up room, and would require a deeper box. Maybe a diagram would show this idea better.
Other than this, it's pretty much mow much space does your box need to have to contain the metal resonator you plan to use. I suggest using some drawing program and put together a few sketches of alternate designs so you can fool around on "e-paper" before doing it in wood. That way you can verify that your boxe is deep enough to conatin all you want to put into it.
Good luck with your build.
-Rand.
