  • Hi, I have just made a Ukulele with the same CB, and have another one that I wanna build a guitar like this one, so please if someone has the tutorial for this CBG or pics of building process let me know.

    Thanks

  • You need a pretty long box - this one was 10 1/2 inches and it a tight fit to get the bridge and the neck pocket to work.  I've also used the LP junior type wrap-over bridge.  I usually pretty well fill the body as a solid block, with voids for the electrics, rout a neck pocket as on a conventional guitar, and use a standard neckplate, although you may need to shuffle the neck position out a little a little to be able the bridge in the right position.

     

  • wow..i want to put a fender neck on a cbg...an tips?
  • Yes, solid block inside..effectively this is a solid body guitar
  • im planning on making a full scale fenfer neck guitar.. did you have to brace the bridge with wood under it or just attatch it to the cigar box?
  • Thats good news.... Im on with one of these boxes right now! :o)
