curious on how you made the fret lines for this guitar

I have one of those.

1, 3, 5 chords? Never heard of that.

A friend rescued one from a flooded warehouse. The owner was throwing it in the dumpster. It had literally been floating. My friend got it dried out and working, and gave it to me. He also gave me a matched pair of original Westinghouse 6V6 tube/ valves out of a 1958 Magnavox HiFi. I disassembled it and cleaned the circuit board and valve sockets and cleaned and lubed the Pots. ( and got the smell out of it.) It works and looks like new. The Deluxe reverb setting ,7, is my preferred setting. I still prefer my Princeton Chorus, but the Super Champ X2 is a fun little amp.

I wonder if "Pete Shelley" saw that before he cut the top half of his guitar off ???.

Thanks for an excellent review. I have this exact amp with the Ragin' Cajun speaker and the foot switch. I am thrilled with the amp and it's hard to believe how fantastic it sounds and how many features it has - especially for the money. I've owned a Princeton, which is undoubtedly a great amp, and much louder, but a one-trick pony. And the fact that the X2 weighs almost 10 pounds less than the Princeton makes a huge difference for my back. I mainly play my Strat and Tele through the X2 and run them into an Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer (with level at 10 and gain off) and sometimes a Wampler Ego compressor along with the TS9, and that's the secret sauce that makes an already great tone even greater (bigger and thicker), both on the clean and overdriven settings.

This is an awesome demo Chicken John

I've used Chickenbone Johns fret cutting template for the last few years. I built a mitre box from CBJ''s instructions with oak sides & 3/4' ply base. I use various hardwood offcuts for the height adjustment. I already had a similar Sheffield England made fret / gent saw so just bought the sturdy stainless steel slotting template for £19.75. Easy to use, works great & much better value than other vendors. Recommended.

First two are our "Toaster" pickup, www.chickenbonejohn.com/products/artec-mini-humbucker-pickup?_pos=1&_sid=fbae60ac2&_ss=r, the last one is our aged minihumbucker www.chickenbonejohn.com/products/mini-humbucker-pickup-antique-bronze-with-mounting-ring-pre-wired-available?_pos=1&_sid=dea769a00&_ss=r

Hi. John . Which model of pickup is that so I know what to order .regards Paul

that is what I would think ! As long as the frets are marked and you push down properly .......

super!👍 Спасибо Джон за хороший урок. Добрая память Джону Ли Хукеру.!

I am a proud user bought one in Long and McQuade Toronto! I love your box cigar guitar!!! 🎸 Did they stop 🛑 making boxes? 📦

Thank you.

Another great lesson! Thanks!

Had one for Xmas 1977....Thought it was the bees knees, played it through an old Selma 50 watt amp. Moved on to other copies in the late 70's to an Avon Les Paul, then a MIJ squire which I wish I'd never got rid of 😏

Great lesson - Thanks!

Man, thank you for this!! Love from Chicagoland, Illinois, USA!

Well fantasise no good I agree

It's gonna be rechargeable

So cool !! Great work ! Where can i but a 6-string bridge and tail piece from yall?

Brilliant as ever John. I've just finished putting together one of you very complete kits. Superb, thank you.

"Oscar Schit Smella," .. 👉 10:56💥🤣🤛

Chicken Bone John, ..wanted to ask you, ..are those Charcoal Grey Frosted ones rare as chicken bone's teeth or somethin? Because never ever see em anywhere on my little internet land tv radar screen. I have one but it doesn't have the Pin bridge, it's a floating bridge type, tailpiece one. ..love your exquisite guitar playing, ..15:57 oh Jesus, you are goood, ..mmm, tasty, ..🦝🔥🌌

Well John just made one of your kits and it’s awesome. It is my favourite instrument and I have two Ibanez guitars as well. If I hit the strings, put it down and walk off it’s still resonating as I lock my den door. 😎👍🏻

Thanks for this man! I'm going to do a Bo Diddley/Billy Gibbons cigar box Jupiter Firebird and this helps a lot.

Thank you for your very helpful lessons on the CBG. Bill 😊

Nice demo mate. Vox is making a lot of great stuff these days. My neighbors want me to have an A.C. 30 or at least a fleet of pathfinder amps. Or both . This mini 5 looks like a lot of features in a small package. Great for someone starting out or for small practice space. Good job John.

thank you very much. was just looking about for correct info. you didn't give me the "answer" but you explained it so well i was able to get the correct answer for my question

So informative thank you 🙏

*like*

Good points John For an electric CBG (when you don't care about the acoustics) with a surface-mount pickup, is it okay to NOT recess the top surface of the neck between the fret and the bridge? I'm going to attach the neck to the top of the cigar box. Should I glue the top neck surface to the bottom surface of the cigar box top?

That guitar is mine now it’s great,I gig with it a lot and highly recorecommend johns guitars

What key are you in Chicken bone John.

Yessir Mr Chickenbone! Thanks for the great lesson

How can I buy the cutaway cigar box guitar 3 string on your video playing just got paid.

Most excellent. Thanx for sharing. You have earned your place in Heaven!

Interesting. Could the string ferrules be mounted into the rear face of the neck instead of into the rear face of the body? Then the strings would not pass through the space below the neck inside the body. And for hinged cigar boxes, you could flip open the back when the strings are strung. (Am I correct about this last one?)

Hey CBJohn ! Whereabouts are you located? James Hargreaves layed out an approach to master the blues for 6 strings. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWmocnSMrdt1aqM Is it possible to adjust his approach for 3 strings? If so, how?

UPDATE: I just finished building my Treble/Bass CBG. Made it a 4-string. It sounds absolutely amazingly cool! Thanks John.

Hey CJ, Is your bridge held in place only by the tension of the strings? Can you move it around? Would you move it to: Adjust the tone? Adjust the action? For a good position to rest your hand?

Great. Would be there. Thx lot for this Movie.

How do I get on this?
