23 inch scale (copied off a vintage store bought tenor guitar.) The box top is actually flipped. Prettier that way. Good player. Piezo. Sound samples in today's video section.

Will be for sale at McIntyre Music in Boone Iowa next week. They have been doing pretty good selling my stuff.

Thanks,  Alan.  Just in from the shed and 4 beers.  Still have ten fingers and all my parts so far as I know. Like you, I often make my own box or use something other than a see gar-box!  The build I am working on is a ho-made box intended for an LPG.

"Sweet Lookin' Little Box UJ", I actually pulled all my small Cigar Box's out of storage a couple of days ago, with the intention of using them, by joining them together somehow, putting timber surrounds on them, or incorporating them into a solid body build, as I always considered them too small for a stand alone build, put them back into the too hard basket, got side tracked and am doing a couple of other projects at the moment, BUT!, this sweet little critter might very well change my thoughts on those Cigar Box's being too small for a stand alone build. :-)

Me too, Kale.  The top was flipped.  What you see was originally the bottom of the top.
