Electric Cigar Box Guitar - Full Build to Playing - Robert Johnson Tribute

My entire process of building an electric cigar box guitar, from start to finish. I hope you find it interesting, thanks for taking a look!

[@sheachopper6416]

Okay, that's freaking sick.

[@RamblinAround]

Thank you my friend!

[@doublel7337]

Really enjoyed the video Jeff. I knew what a cigar box guitar is, but that was about all. So I learn something new today. You did an awesome job on it my friend ! When I was around 10 years old my elderly neighbor built fiddles, all work was done with hand tools. He would shape the body with broken flat glass, and I used to watch him for hours. He did a great job and they looked like a store bought violins. Thanks for sharing !

[@RamblinAround]

Glad you liked it, thank you for taking a look my friend! That's awesome, it takes quite a craftsman to make a good fiddle.

[@mrmajestyk100]

That was awesome Jeff, I was blown away.

[@RamblinAround]

Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it!

[@RamblinAround]

I did sell them, along with custom amps, for many years. I just don't have the time anymore to keep doing it. Thanks for taking a look, I appreciate it!

[@roberteshaw9520]

You did a good job. I use a drumstick as a slide on string bass or guitar.I have a video performance of each on my channel. I like your choice of materials such as the sink strainers.and the oak neck. It sounds good.

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks, I appreciate that!

[@maddmaxx6730]

Absofreakin awesome! That looks and sounds amazing. I run a Midas 1 sound board at my church. I would love to hear that plugged into a sound system with good subs pushing around 95 to 100 db. I’ll record this coming Sunday and post it and tag you.

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks! Yeah, that would be awesome. It's hard to convey what it really sounds like through KZbin.

[@maddmaxx6730]

@@RamblinAround were you plugged straight into the amp? If that was without a pedal I really love it.

[@RamblinAround]

@@maddmaxx6730 Yeah, that was straight into the amp and not a very good amp either.

[@maddmaxx6730]

@@RamblinAround dude, it rocked

[@3653-w2s]

Edward Phillips does a decent job on Preachin' Blues. That seems fairly easy!

[@Nduk123]

very nice work

[@SludgeFuZZ]

This build made me subscribe somthing like 10-12 years ago..

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks, I appreciate you watching. Hoping I find the free time to build some more again at some point.

[@williamdenny891]

Awesome ❤

Pretty dang sweet! 🇺🇲💯✌

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks, I appreciate you taking a look!

[@dgperforms1]

Good job. I build CBG's. VERY good video. You earned a new Sub

[@w13rdguy]

Super nice stick n a box! Did you angle the neck? I did on mine, but not quite enough. The strings move around on the bridge, despite having field grooves into it (when you pick aggressively).

[@w13rdguy]

*filed😅

[@tevo4321]

What tuning is the guitar in? and Strings of which instrument are you using? 

[@paulmarkmoffat4638]

nice

[@richardjones1754]

What kind of box is that ???

[@reltcl1995]

Can you give measurements on everything. Thanks

[@peterscaturro732]

How did you set the intonation with a fixed bridge design ?

[@RamblinAround]

You can turn the "biscuit" that the threaded rod is on slightly and get it pretty close. I've built them before with a Gibson style bridge with the adjusters. This one is a little more primitive. It gets the job done though.

[@9jmorrison]

Robert died at 27, never do a deal with the devil, he will cheat you.

[@tunnel7]

Wow that neck is so thick 🙊🙊🙊🙊

[@RamblinAround]

It's much narrower than a regular guitar, so making the neck thicker makes it fit my hand better.
