My first cigar box guitar, in progress. It now has a new neck, but most of the rest is the same.

Maple neck, upcycled tuners, necklace pendant to cover the sound hole, brass skeleton key bridge, cabinet door hinge to hold the strings.

More photos to follow

Sounds AWESOME.

Hehehe... the second one is going to be the proof of concept/prototype one I already have in progress. I just found cigar box source yesterday and I think I may have Xmas gifts covered this year now that I know how to make these!

Yes, the brass rod worked out great and The Beau loves it! I'll have more pictures shortly. Really happy with it!

Wow, I like how the "laced" key and pendant fit with the box logo: that is an elegant look. Glad its fun to play, too. Did you end up keeping the brass rod frets?
