Hmm, a neck attached to a Roland Microcube.... I like where your head is at Jim.

Thanks. Ha, there's only one guitar. The top was a mockup I made using windows paint, and the bottom one is a picture of the actual guitar almost fully built, only difference is now she has a black pup cover on the 'bucker. Originally I cut together a pic of the cigar box, a pic of the neck, some other pics, and made a mockup based on measurements before I ever built her. This was my first CBG. although I had a  little past experience frankensteining instruments (had a fretless fender acoustic with two humbuckers and nickel strings). Notice in the original mockup, the volume and tone were on the front, but when I built her, the universe had different plans and they are now on the side with the preamp controls and switches.
