Building a Sweet Sounding Cigar Box Guitar

[@winfieldtaylor4967]

It sounds amazing

[@clintonwalker5842]

Dude you can make that box sing

[@johnprickett8140]

OK I am convinced; I will make a cigar box guitar!. Might be difficult on the kitchen table but I will make one. I am eyeing the table legs already!

[@booglebug7967]

I love your soldering & neat bundling of your wires. My soldering technique is definitely an area I need lots of practice, and a cooler iron.

[@alexkatsaros6180]

Hi Del Great work, love watching you project such great enthusiasm which infects all who watch. A

[@roscoecunningham1316]

Good morning Sir! Another beauty and it sounds great. I’m digging the veneers you’ve started putting on the headstock.

[@lolitawilson4970]

Del, I enjoy your Video and Teachings, I've been watching for several years now, and I have 3 electric CBG's I'm working on the Neck, electronics and Strings to put on. One of them I forgot to put on 2nd part of the Bridge, but I'll work with it. Thank you so much!!

[@michaelstelmasek9159]

Absolutely one of the best sounding CBG’s I have ever heard.

[@klauspenczek4247]

Very cool Sound Del!

[@robusher3145]

Awesome playing Del!

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

Thanks for listening

[@ericshaffer9823]

Missed this one first time around. More great tips, thank you!

[@rocketpoolpki]

Nice build, in England we call that saw action "chibling"

[@cenntraru]

11:25 Wwooouu! I get it that 3-str CBG is a thing but I would now love to see you slam a full weight guitar, sir 👍 I mean, those Pink Floyd's guitar solos still can't be played on CBGs, no?

[@SouthernFireGuitars]

Great Tips, thanks and a nice sounding build.

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@TonyBrown-lf5nj]

I likes your style Sir . Good jams .

[@guzzoofoz]

Awesome as always. Thanks Del 👍🇦🇺

[@Mattcox250]

You could also try rubbing a pencil in the lid side. When you close it there should be transfer marks on the high spots. Then you could erase or lightly sand them off.

[@StevenA-fp3zj]

You craftsmanship and enthusiasm is crazy amazing. How can someone purchase a 3 string cigar box guitar like the one you use in the video? That guitfiddle sounds awesome!!

[@Oopkaponk]

[@adammono1839]

Using a jigsaw blade by hand. Great tip!

[@JD-iu3vi]

I prefer a hack saw blade.

[@patrickkirby5003]

Padron boxes always look good

[@Ijcarter1962]

Awesome!

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

Glad you think so!

[@mikehumphrey5]

Hey brother wonderful video I have a question for you about those f hole cover plates where did you get them from. Thank you and Maranatha

[@winfieldtaylor4967]

Are you using pedals with your vox?

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

no

[@timmiddleton6514]

I am in the UK and i have a couple of cigar box guitars but neither of them anything like as good as yours. Please do you sell to the UK. Kind regards Tim

[@loulamanna567]

I've noticed that since you've got it you've been using the vox amp almost exclusively. Do you like it better than the microcube? I can say the delay seems better. As far as an idea on the 2way volume pot. What about a single coil and a humbucker both in the same position and being able to blend or choose which sound fits the song better.

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

The sky is the limit...as far as options go. Yes - the Vox tones are very inspiring

[@loulamanna567]

Like a variable 3way switch. What if you used it that way and still used a volume and tone pot. Would be pretty cool.

[@amgauctions29musicgearandm31]

Have you tried the Laney Lionheart both battery and power supply.

[@ecalzo]

super.. i got one of those cigar boxe one time... but it's hard for me to get cigar boxes here in italy.. i have to pay 20Eu for each one.. that makes me hard to build my CBG .. i'm thinking of building the boxes by myself out of scrap wood ..

[@SLU2MOVIES]

I've made myself a CBG. It's sounds awsome :D But the finish is terrible. No cigarbox in Poland :) So had to make my own one. I'll make another one !!

[@jamesbeauregard8710]

Im requesting your help i want to make me a cbg. Here is the catch because I'm handicap in my left hand up to the shoulder I need a neck that can pivot and lock in place so I can find my comfortable spot. If you have any ideas I would appreciate your input

[@waltdavis29]

You totally gave away your age with the theme song of “Get Smart” 🤣

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

1964 was the year color TV appeared on the scene ... My birth had nothing to do with that....

[@ericshaffer9823]

Great show! Sigh....

[@wayneelliott9523]

Del, get a cheap oscillating tool from Harbor Freight. You'll be amazed at it's many uses!

[@ericb1486]

I want one of these guitars .where do I need to send payment lmao

[@harrykeel8557]

Wow!

[@eross21]

what is your tuning , and string sizes on that bad boy? sounds awesome

[@kheaslett]

WoW !!!

[@jwwebster9292]

Del how much are your guitars I want one

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

they’re “priceless” 😜

[@davidskimin3471]

Hey Del, great tip with fret saw. Quick question buddy, what's the name of file/ rasp are you using. I have a variety of Stanley sure forms, but I've never seen a file like yours. Davy.

[@georgemiller8694]

Just in case Del doesn't see your question, I think you're asking about the Shinto rasp. Rough cut on one side and fine on the other. I'm into woodcarving as well as building CBG's, and this rasp works great. Not expensive and easy to find online. I bought mine from Lee Valley here in Canada but I think Amazon has them as well.

[@davidskimin3471]

Cheers George, I'll look on Amazon, I'm in Ireland.

[@joshkendrick4728]

Hey man how could i buy one of your guitars...?

[@davidholmes3776]

There’s a subtle side of a Shinto?!

[@raymyhill2]

What model amp please

[@clintonwalker5842]

I want a cigar box, so bad.

[@miguelsotero8636]

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]
