your shop looks awsome, and good work too

[@j-bird6563]

nice workshop! Nicely done!

[@Cj12sings]

AMAZING shop.... and skill, even if I had all that equipment I could not put it together as superbly as you did...quite stunning..thanks for sharing..

[@oldmountaindawg4593]

I was looking more for a poor man's version to this. Grandkids likes grandpas blues an old bikes. I saw a nice ammo box build I'm gonna give a shot. Good video.

[@sgntbilco]

Very nice, I really enjoyed watching the video. It is obviously a labor of love.

[@dutchpearson2022]

[@DanielBorelGuitars]

Thanks a lot !

Very nice work!

[@1bobvideo]

I've been building a few cbgs. I've probably made about 15 or so. I came up with a cool fret marker idea. I looked and looked to see if anyone else has done it. I've done 2 guitars like this.....and now I watch this video and see yours are very similar to mine. My slots continued through the neck, but other than that, they were the same. I loved the video and guitar looked badass!

[@DanielBorelGuitars]

+1bobvideo Thank you ! : )

[@americancigarboxguitarsass855]

Great Job!! Very good Video..

[@buskergus2191]

Superbe vidéo sur un magnifique travail d’artisanat ! La musique est parfaite aussi. Bref , moi qui hésitais sur l’achat éventuel d’une cbg, je suis convaincu et sais vers qui me tourner !

[@DanielBorelGuitars]

Oh merci ! Ca me va droit au coeur !

[@onecreativeplanet9181]

Awesome video!!

[@doggylv]

I just love this video, how thick is that wood you glued up.......more video's!!!!!!

super boulot

[@BoneheadGuitars]

Very nice

[@johnsteinmetz6721]

I am jealous of your workshop and tools, I wish I had those in my shop......I am pretty bare bones!

[@DanielBorelGuitars]

Hi John, you don't need all this equipment ! I have built many with nothing but hand tools !

[@zardozica]

I believe the tuning on the guitar in the background song is FCF.

[@carloshenrique-zw7bd]

good job

[@ItAintMeBabe99]

Great video and a beautiful CBG. All I need is a $50,000 work shop and I can build one.

[@randhalljoss6762]

Avenches c'est pas loin des Franches montagnes,juste trop belle cette cbg,j'vais faire un tour sur t'on site...suis un delta blues adict

[@enzotreppa]

well done.. this was a fantastic video! but you let me down that there wasn't more footage of the finished rig. sounds like?

[@DanielBorelGuitars]

Thanks Enzo; you can hear it all along the video ; )

[@kiko3782]

Ficou muito bonito , parabéns.

[@barryashton1404]

If only I had a work shop like that 😢😅

[@DanielBorelGuitars]

Haha ! It took me 10 years to accumulate all those toys ! 😉

[@hardtimelover]

Absolutely amazing built very inspiring!! Can you tell me where to get measures for neck and fret distances?

[@DanielBorelGuitars]

Hi Michael. you can find fret calculators on the web, for example on the stewmac site. Apologize for my late answer !!!

Great video - but disappointingly we only get a fleeting glimpse of the end product !

[@DanielBorelGuitars]

Hi John, you can hear the instrument during the whole video ! ; )

[@Neyrotropin]

Hello! How i can get the audio track from this video without the background sound for personal listening?

[@doggylv]

Please, what was the tool you were using to cut the fret slots, excellent video, I have watched it a number of times!

[@DanielBorelGuitars]

+doggylv It's a home made system done with a portative circle saw and a sliding plate (and patience) ; )

[@DanielBorelGuitars]

Thanks; I use a hand circle saw mounted on a home made slide system ; )

[@richardstumph7833]

Where did you get the guitar pickups,or are they hand made by you,

[@DanielBorelGuitars]

On this CBG it's one handmade (you can hear it during the video). Generally I use jazz bass pickups; they work well

[@thesundaycarpenter2514]

The music in this is great. Your song?

[@DanielBorelGuitars]

Dave David's song ! I love it too !!!

[@kellyryan3342]

Tabs for the song please.

Can I come visit your shop? I live in Vevey! Je parle français aussi !

Can you tell me the name of the song in the background please

+TheCroneGamer Hi, it's a creation of dave david, the friend behind the camera. I don't know if he gave it a name...

[@tommyfennell8670]

+DB Guitars ok cool I'll give him a contact at some point. I sent you an email, I'm interested in buying a cigar box guitar the same as this one
