#1 resource for Cigar Box Guitars, Free Plans, How-To, Parts & More!

Now it's complete

I fitted a retro style humbucker in and now it's a player. The pizoes are still a little too weak but in position 2 it adds to the tone of the bucker. I will sort that out one day, but I want to start on my next project.

Comment by Mick Erglis on January 25, 2016 at 8:46am: I am truly honoured Bob, thanks. I look forward to seeing how it turns out. :o)

Comment by Angry Rooster Guitars on January 25, 2016 at 8:26am: I'll compliment your ingenuity by copying your idea on a future build. I already ordered one on ebay. I think it looks awesome!

Comment by Mick Erglis on January 25, 2016 at 7:12am: I never thought about that Bob, I will have to do that & ask them for half a dozen muffler ends. :)) It's actually quite comfortable resting my hand there and I can still dampen the strings with the palm. Plank MK 2 is on the drawing board as we speak. :)

Comment by Angry Rooster Guitars on January 25, 2016 at 6:14am: When you have to call Briggs & Stratton for guitar parts.....that's cool!

Comment by Gary W aka Rev. Bluejeans on January 25, 2016 at 5:48am: cool build, Mick!
