8 string CBG

"I have a 12 string CBG but the neck is the same size as a 6 string neck because the fretboard has a really sharp radius in it like a portuguese guitar."

Oscar Stern replied to Slowpaw Steve T's discussion Converting a three string CBG to four string in the group Four String Cigar Box Guitars

"That's very cool, adding a 4th string gives you more versatility. How about we got a step further & convert a 4 string CBG into maybe more strings than that like 5 or 6 strings. What we'd need to do is change the neck."

What do you find most interesting about cigar box guitars? (If you do not enter something meaningful here (at least one sentence long), your membership may be rejected as a spam/bot fake account).: I could customize them. I'm working on converting my 4 String CBG into a 6 String CBG in Bb (it's tuned D, G, C, F, A, D) so I coud play Bb Trumpet music on a Guitar
