California Dreaming: 3D Printed Cigar Box Guitar
"I agree Alan; she had some serious pipes! Glad you enjoyed this one; it was fun to learn."
#1 resource for Cigar Box Guitars, Free Plans, How-To, Parts & More!
Cones!
Well the experimenting stage is over and I have the first run of brass spun cones ready for whoever needs them.
They need a 6 inch hole to sit in and a 1/2 inch lip to be screwed down so a 7 inch wide cigar box will do fine.They sit down about an inch deep so you can still use a stick thru type guitar design.
You don't need a cover plate for these but you can add one if you want just for looks. It's best to install them in a box with nice hard wood or a thick top and the bigger the box the better.They are 25 bucks and if you want one just send me a message or catch me in the chat room. I have a video down below of one of my guitars with a brass cone installed. Thanks! I have a PAY PAL now guys sorry for the delay fellas!

Hey Old Lowe, I received my cone this morning. It is a thing of beauty. It's tempting to build a lexan body just to show off the cone. Thanks a million.
