Building the coolest cigar box guitar in the world!

[@biggreentruck4907]

Awesome. A rare example of the double humbucking Tobaccecaster. I like that box, and I do enjoy a Monte Cristo cigar.

[@robinleebraun7739]

Just goes to show you that with a good neck, tuning machines, pickups and bridge and saddle, the rest is totally optional. What a gorgeous instrument!

[@americanbulldog2015]

Absolutely beautiful in every respect. Bravo!!

[@jamesfrancisco3130]

Oh, man! That little guitar is just plain gorgeous! It's got class, looks and a great sound. And, contrary to what some may think... I love the fact that it's a 6 string. Great work and great playing!

[@sweetnessguitar7417]

Thanks for that comment James!

[@claytondye9522]

Beautifully thought out. Congratulations on great build.

[@Futuretimelord]

I don't know how missed this, but this is about the coolest thing I've seen and heard in a while. Thank for making my day just a little nicer.

[@johnmitchelljr]

Great build, finish beautiful. Sound excellent. I don't pick at original builds. Creativity bothers some people. Don't change a thing and don't listen to people who can't think out of the box. That's what it is all about. Being an individual. Thanks for sharing.

[@Scriel]

Gorgeous and sounds great too. Thanks for sharing.

All kinds of talent in this guy ! Nicely done.

[@gregmartin1757]

Really ? how much " talent" does it take to attach a pre built neck to a box ? With a little time i could train a monkey to build this .

[@stevephelps6722]

That was amazing! You are such a craftsman!

[@Zealotux]

Beautiful guitar, the Black Keys is a great choice of song for that type of guitar, congrats!

[@JavalerraScolopendra]

this is the classiest handmade guitar ive ever seen!

[@gregmartin1757]

Really? not trying to knock what this guy did but if this is the best you have ever seen you probably have not seen many.it is better than typical cigarbox guitar but i think your are greatly overstating how good it is.

[@JavalerraScolopendra]

@@gregmartin1757 😀 maybe because I love the rosewood color on this guitar.. as well as its playability.. I've seen quite a number of em... even built e few of em... anyway... everyone has their own opinion, which I would humbly respect. 😊😊😊

[@gregmartin1757]

it is just pre built neck off a cheap guitar attached to a box ! ! Yes it looks pretty good and sounds pretty good but any guitar will sound pretty good if played through a decent amp . I don't want to knock what this guy did but pretty much anyone could build this it doesn't require any special skills. it isn't a custom built instrument built by a skilled luthier. Let's call it what it is a nice effort by a amatuer. Nothing more .i guess most people are just easily impressed.

[@thomasd9237]

Very Nice 👍👍

Wow damn nice piece man .I bet it sounds as good as it looks to.

[@AndiGitarre1]

Nice guitar, great sound. ...

[@TomPetersonRefuseReuse]

Great build, I just built my first hubcap guitar and I used a six string neck too. I wanted it to play like a regular six string, plus I can't play slide like a lot of people do on cigar box guitars.

[@sweetnessguitar7417]

Nice! Yeah, I wanted mine to play like a regular six string too

[@RMGCBG]

I build CBG's, my guitars were featured at the Salvador Dali Museum. Proud accomplishment. They don't look that beautiful. I'm blown away. Well done

[@sweetnessguitar7417]

Wow thanks for the comment sir! It did turn out really nice!

[@1lacowboy]

Would like to see some of your work Rick CBG. Can you leave a link? Any for sale?

[@squirlmy]

Looks like a balalaika, a Russian folk instrument. Their bodies are kinda triangular, and come in both three string and six string varieties. Great job! As I get further interested in "cigar box" instruments, I'm learning more about other traditional folk instruments.

[@triplesevensix291]

Nice job lad. Lovely lil guitar. ;)

[@bmfilmnut]

Exceptionally cool and extremely well done. It' sounds great too and it's a work of art. The only very minor thing that sticks in the back of my mind is that you've made such a fancy guitar that it's really not very much in the tradtion of cigar box guitars which, after all, were almost always very basic, made out of necessity and with materials found lying around. But who cares? I think of this as a different type of homemade guitar that's based on classic guitar box guitars but no longer in their class. It's taking a very simple thing that's most iconic and important characterist is it's simplicity and making it fancy. It's no longer really a cigar box guitar, IMO, but that makes no difference at all. What's important is that it's REALLY neat and you did a great job making it. That's something I would love to own and play. Really beautiful. I do have the skills to make such a guitar and you've given me some ideas. Thanks for posting this.

[@foxdevilswild4641]

[@davefoster6156]

Sounds great. But not the crunchy raunchy sounds of a cigar box guitar, but more like a high-quality hollow body! That’s not any kind of criticism! It turned out spectacular! Definitely the upper level of CBC

[@criomat]

very, very nice job indeed, but a technical question: is the 12th fret halfway between the nut and the bridge?

[@sweetnessguitar7417]

Yes sir

Wowzers! Where is this box from? It's beautiful craftsmanship.

it's a rare Montecristo 'golfer' gift box. It's why it had golf balls in it.

[@SSRT_JubyDuby8742]

Quality 🙂

[@marcusdavey9747]

It looks great. The only issues are it has knobs, 3 extra strings, frets, and…a cigar box. You don’t need any of those for the perfect CBG!

[@jbruner17]

Dope as F!

[@squirlmy]

No non-amplified acoustic playing? I hate to say it, but with all the effort put into the soundholes (4!), I'd hope they'd be more than decorative. Good thick wood cigar boxes are desirable for being sturdy and durable, but cigar box cardboard makes for suprisingly good soundboards, at least while they last. (This is secret cigar box guitar knowledge. Sh! Don't tell!) Who would have known heavy cardboard and particle board make for good "tonewood"? -Maybe I'm a little jealous of the "coolest CBG in the world". Please don't take this as criticism.

Whatever, man. Any guitarist knows there are many of “awesome” guitars like that out there.

[@timhallas4275]

You were good right up until you put that hardware store shit on the back and neck. You should have just glued the wood inside to the box bottom and glued the top on. neck screws and ferrels would have held the whole thing together. I love that box.

[@charliejeans2413]

Anyone else blow the screen ? Lol

[@DegenTrader69]

the bad timing in this song is making me anxious

[@gregmartin1757]

All kinds of high praise by people in the comments? All you really did was attach a premade guitar neck that came off a cheap second rate guitar to a box ! That doesn't really take any special skills. if you can't build your own neck,do the fret work, etc.you are hardly a skilled luthier. Not knocking what you did .decent enough amatuer effort. Just wondering why so many people seem to be overly impressed by something pretty much anyone could accomplish.this guy has delusions of grandeur because i see he has this listed on ebay, reverb. for $4,000.00 . That is how i found this video. For that $ you can buy a les paul or a strat+tele + nice amp.he'll be waiting years till he finds the 1 person in the world stupid enough to pay that for a amatuer built instrument that is nothing but a B grade neck attached to a box. Realistically it is worth maybe $200.00 On a good day at best.

[@Stoney327]

Beautiful work, Honestly!!!, BUT as a guitar builder I can say, this is the farthest thing I've EVER seen from a cigar box guitar! You should have left out the words Cigar Box from the title!

[@sweetnessguitar7417]

Thanks. Yeah I didnt want it to be like every other cigar box guitar, I wanted to make somthing more unique...and the box I made it with was a cigar box.

[@geoffspakes]

Sweetness Guitar Then I’d say it is indeed a cigar box guitar...very cool build too.

[@GardenBoy4U]

In my opinion this is click bate. He made a nice looking regular 6 string guitar out of a golf ball and tee case. It's a regular six string guitar with regular guitar pickups and it's not made out of a cigar box. Not taking anything away from the craftsmanship, just saying it's not even remotely a cigar box guitar.

[@sweetnessguitar7417]

That actually is a cigarbox, it was a Montecristo limited golfers edition cigar box.

[@GardenBoy4U]

@@sweetnessguitar7417 Gotcha. Thank you for clarifying. It is in fact a cigar box guitar I guess, albeit a six string version with humbucker style pickups. But it turned out beautiful; going with the gold plated accessories was perfect.

[@scottpc1234]

WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT? building and playing are two different things silly rabbit Ohhh go on you didn't build that did you? now tell the truth ya long eared gallute
