Definitely showing my newness around here! I didn't think building one this small was advised. I like that it's a "do your own thing" community. I'm considering a ukulele. I've always wanted one!

My first CBG build was using a box that measured 8"x6"x3".

It is a nice, well built box, in my opinion.  

I go to the gas station here on base often, and asked one of the ladies what they do with the empty cigar boxes.  That is where I got this one.  I'm bringing home two a week at this point.  Mighty nice of them.

I picked up a few boxes that way til they started charging for them. Now I just look in the trash bin. Hahaha

Build a small sopranissimo CBG.

My box on my smallest is 8&1/2 x 5&1/2 x 1&1/2

Go for 18" scale length. They are a lot of fun.

piccolo acoustic git, concert ukukele, cigar box fiddle, mag pickup cbg, endless possibilities, I made a fun 2 string chugger out of a 4x4x8 acid box.
