My Chugger take on the iconic Beatle Bass. 23” scale length, flourocarbon fishing line strings, GD tuning, piezo pickup. 3D printed components. Picked up the vintage 1957 Cigar Box over the weekend and since it is my birth year, I had to have it!

That’s high praise Uncle John and I appreciate it! I was working on a violin style build and had already changed directions several times, the unplanned 57 Phillies find which was a result of our last minute visit to family in Idaho instead of Seattle had me stoked up to move my violin plan to the this box. It was a fun build as everything came together. I enjoyed playing it at the library this morning.
You and your super printer are turning out some great stuff. I think this one is the topper, the best of your best.
Thanks Alan! I got around to this build sooner than I planned; I appreciate the inspiration of your violin builds. As for the bullet holes, Since I have have no way to do it authentically, I manually placed them at random! I’m really liking bullet holes as they give max flexibility for placement and no alignment worries.
"Nice Doug", did it come with Bullet Holes, or did you have to Shoot It Up yourself ?? ;-D
Nice turn of a phrase BrianQ! I am partial to the Beatle bass and decided it was time to have one that is also an authentic Cigar Box Guitar too. A win-win in my book.
That Beatle bass is bulletproof Doug!!! I’m pleasantly impressed,as always!!
