Cigar Box Guitarby ~guitartree

Download JPG 436 × 344
Most Cigar Box Guitars are simple. Not this one.

Built for local Texas player, Justin Broderick. He's played with many acts including the Peach Truck Republic. His playing ability inspired the amount of design that went into this instrument. Most of my CBG's are just a simple wood neck. This one has a four ply maple neck with a traditional truss rod and rosewood fretboard. The pickup is a Fender noiseless. I will add some audio and maybe even some video soon.

A friend of mine is building me my own cigar box guitar.
I've played guitar and bass for over ten years, but never owned one of these.
That being said....
POP QUIZ!
What are the advantages of 4 vs 6 strings?
nylon vs steel or phosphoris strings?
suggested standard tuning?
electronics or no electronics?
If so, recommended electronics setup?
Thanks!!!
Samantha

Awesome-looking instrument there--I'd love to hear what she sounds like. If I might ask, how's she tuned?

what kind of box, or cigar brand, did you use? this CBG is absolutly lovely. i've always found it a shame that so many poeple make their guitars so simple and plan; true the origines and materials imply that a CBG is simple looking and in the name of nostalgia one would continue on the tradition, but if you have the means why not give your guitar that extra bit of polish and class.
I love the cut out design for sound, the stain is rich looking and i love that you went the extra mile and made it electric. then again it was for a professional musician so i guess thats a must isnt it? ^_^

box is from Gurkha and at one time was full of Master's Select cigars... a very expensive box of cigars to say the least.

Very nicely done, i love the headstock design... it reminds me of a warwick bass

That is so cool. Now I am off to research this. I have an old cuban box laying in storage.
