I agree with you Uncle John! With all the other white parts, I thought it would work. I do like the coffee color ones which blend with the wood on the neck, but it is nice to have choices.

That white fret board looks great here!

I totally get it BrianQ. Cigar Train is a recent discovery. I found out about it from the receptionist at the Dentist’s Office of all places. Sometimes you get lucky. Total Wine and More, a local big box store chain in the Pacific Northwest, has become my go to ($1.99 a box). Cigar Train is charging $1 a box, a smoking deal. Sometimes I hit the smoke shop downtown, but I have to pay for parking and boxes are $3 and $5 (for all wood).

That’s kool Doug, it’s always been a chore getting boxes locally, cigar shops in my town aren’t very receptive to people like us!

I hate to part with it, but I wanted Brian (the guy at Cigar Train) to have a standout guitar made from one of the boxes he gave me for free on my first visit. This one exceeded my expectations and has given me some new ideas for future builds.

I’m looking forward to doing the 5 minute challenge with him since he is not a guitar player.
