Puckett Cigar Box Guitar I have 1/8” rebate at neck and 1/4” rebate near the saddle end of the box. So the cigar box is leaning back by 1/8” inch. I’ve been following your build videos.

Excellent! Careful you don’t get addicted. I made my first one a couple of years ago - 17 guitars later!! These have been from cigar boxes, wooden bowls and a couple of dog bowl resonators, all 3 or 4 stringers in an open tuning. I have also wound a few of my own electric pickups. The next two I have planned are from a nice biscuit tin and first attempt at a bass guitar! Looking forward to seeing yours finished.

Greg Virgoe Thanks Greg. I tend only to build one when there is something that really gets my interest or something new that I haven’t done before. Unfortunately playing isn’t a strong point of mine, although I played various instruments I my earlier years I haven’t really persevered with a cigar box guitar, something else I need to do!! I have put together a website for the guitars, more as a catalog for my benefit as anything else. Please take a look at - jurassiccoastguitars.jimdofree.com/ I hope the site is of interest, please let me know if there is anything you would like to ask. Roger

I re-watched this Greg 🙂 Just a little suggestion. If you take a quarter of an inch off the bottom of the stock ( not all the way but similar to the top ) where it's in the box ( the long section you have resting on the inside back ) it would let the back of the box resonate a little more. Every little bit of extra acoustic's you can get out of such a small box is only really a benefit, well if you want more of an acoustic sound plus more volume when not connected to an amp. It may not need it and it's just a though. Looking forward to the next part 👍
