How I Made My Cigar Box Guitar for the Swap

[@dgperforms1]

Dude.... NOTHING to be embarrassed about! I prefer this kind of video. Raw and real. Hell, i cant afford a shop full of festools, pro benches and cabinets, etc. Its nice to see someone making these in a "real world" shop. Especially someone of your Caliber. I picked up some things from this video and wpuls love to see you do more build videos. Thank You!

I just bought your book Making poor man's guitars and I love it.

Quick and easy! Down and dirty! An old-school gritty gitty! Thanks for joining the swap group and sharing with the CBG community!

[@delorissamuelson6988]

I don't know why you would be embarrassed. You made a wonderful sounding instrument and that came from you not the tools you chose to use. Thanks fot the video! I am about to make my first cigar box diddly bow and there aren't alot of videos (that i have found), that share as much detail. Very much appreciated .

I enjoyed watching the build Shane and the KISS reminder! A classic Cigar Box Guitar. I think too many CBG builders have forgotten they are humble cigar boxes and to build accordingly.

[@birdwoodcbgs71]

Great points Shane. It is about the love of these beautiful instruments

[@tomasbarta3020]

Your videos (and playing of course) made me to want to build my own cigar box guitar. I'm going to look for the cigar box right now. Thanks for the tutorial, Shane! Also this one guitar is beautiful and sounds just perfect!

I like IT😃👍

[@barryashton1404]

🫡 love it

[@normanacree1635]

4:44 I have never seen anybody allow the top of the box to contact the neck at the point below the bridge. What is the reason for that?

[@michaelpounds9146]

I’ve had a House of Windsor box sitting around for a while, and it has a little piece broken out of the side. Still thinking about what to do with it.

[@josephaugust5128]

What gauge strings
