How to Build Cigar Box Guitar | Making Guitar

[@CigarBoxBroGuitars]

Subscriber friends! I want to ask you ... how do you like the video? Is it interesting to watch it? What if you compare it with other videos on KZbin, other masters?

[@erniebridgersiii993]

very Very informative and meticulous work ! I'm 2 days into building a cbg neck from stock scrap of soft maple from a local lumber yard,.. it really is a lot of work for every stage and the hours are racking up with only small gains.. so glad to have found this video.. to answer your question: Interesting Yes !..as detailed as anything Ive seen on YTube... I appreciate that I've found a complete tutorial for what started as a 'fly by the seat of my pants' project that I've had my mind set on but as the labor and hours have been spent I was really just winging it and not wanting to waste my time with a silly mistake, I searched and found this video which will guide me to a satisfying conclusion. Thank you for the detail and very fine videography and captions. 1st Class !

@@erniebridgersiii993 Thank you! I'm glad you found the video useful...that I'm useful!

[@bearshield7138]

I know... given time I will get around to watching most of them

[@CigarBoxBroGuitars]

@@bearshield7138 yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@raytbrown2]

I watch build videos while having lunch or dinner, and as such, I seek Voice-Over content as I'm often looking at my plate and not watching for a text scroll. As such, you lost me as an audience within 1:45 of time.

[@CMRWoodworks]

Awesome work man! I enjoyed the build and the cbg looks really great!

[@CigarBoxBroGuitars]

Thanks 🙏

[@soyelpinchileo]

Woooow! GREAT JOB

[@CigarBoxBroGuitars]

Hello Thanks 😊

[@CBGuitars]

Very nice work, I was beginning to think I was the only person who put candle wax on their saw when cutting frets.

[@CigarBoxBroGuitars]

Thank you. Yeah...it's easier to saw with wax (especially hard wood)

[@alwayslearning8365]

This is a good step by step tutorial. Thank you.

[@CigarBoxBroGuitars]

I'm glad you liked the video

Awesome video! It's fun watching a perfectionist at work. Have not seen a better how-to video. Thanks for posting.

[@CigarBoxBroGuitars]

[@michaelsavage7921]

Brilliant. Thankyou.

Thanks 😊😊😊

[@perroviejo1691]

Yes man os very adictive to build cbg and its interesting to watch cbg builds...always learn something new..

[@CigarBoxBroGuitars]

I agree. Thank you for your attention!!!

[@johnprickett8140]

I would have liked to have heard the instrument being played, but having said that, some very interesting detail in the video. Thank you.

[@CigarBoxBroGuitars]

Here's a video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKGwhHVumJJnqsk All the instruments that I made are on the channel ... all the music in the video is my improvisation.

[@ซิกโก้พิณหลุยส์เพชรตระกูลศิลป์]

It is a wonderful work of art. I live in Thailand I want it to be with me.

Hi Boris, hope all is well. Liked and new subscriber here. I’ve seen several cbg build videos, yours or this one is very well done. Most builders in the states attach the neck to bottom of the box and doesn’t touch the lid. There’s a builder in Australia that attaches the neck to the lid and puts a piezo pickup on inside of the lid. I’m working on my first build, thanks for the excellent video.

[@CigarBoxBroGuitars]

Yeah, hi! Thanks a lot!!!!! I wish you success...ask questions..I will try to answer...have a nice day!

[@Donnybrook10]

what tune are you playing in the background?

[@CigarBoxBroGuitars]

these are my tunes.. all the tunes on the channel were played by me on guitars from cigar boxes.

[@bearshield7138]

nice job the scale ruler in an interesting tool, did you make that yourself? I will have to come back and watch this again, very helpful. The file holding jigs are a very fine idea

[@CigarBoxBroGuitars]

Thank you! My father made a scale ruler out of stainless steel for me... I have a lot of different ones!

[@bearshield7138]

@@CigarBoxBroGuitars Good to know { w[ll have to figure out how to do the same

[@CigarBoxBroGuitars]

@@bearshield7138 I wish you success ... do not forget the correction for the saw blade (its thickness)

[@bearshield7138]

@@CigarBoxBroGuitars Thank you... That is the kerf of the blade and most hack saws are about 0.024

[@CigarBoxBroGuitars]

@@bearshield7138 yeah 😊 I have drank (groove) for the fret is 0.6 mm.

[@gregory6488]

What is the thickness of the neck-blank?

[@CigarBoxBroGuitars]

varies (usually 25-30 mm)

[@AlexArcady]

По ладам хорошо поработал, думаю, что они просто в восторге. А что это за «топорик» для восстановления корон? Смотрится винтажно весьма! Спасибо за это видео. Многое пригодится.

[@CigarBoxBroGuitars]

"Стружок"! Мне как-то подсказали помню..он сделан из обломка дисковой фрезы по металлу..там канавка режущая сделана ( чуть шире профиля лада.. по-моему 3 мм). Пользуюсь иной раз , строгаю им, оставляя небольшие площадки ( потом шкурки в деревянную оправку..там тоже канавка по профилю лада..по высоте соответствующая..чтобы не цеплять шкурками древесину накладки )..закатник, напильник для ладов тоже в деле..но он у меня плохой. Рад, что Вам что-то пригодилось)))

[@AlexArcady]

@@CigarBoxBroGuitars закатник как то дороговато. Все вот думал чем коронки ладов восстановить после шлифовки профилем. Вот хорошая идея у Вас с деревяхой с канавкой и сменными наждачками. Беру.

[@ДамирГаптрахманов]

Хочу сделать. Есть коробка, тоже COHIBA. Клён срубил в огороде,высушил и сделал брусок. Осталось накладку найти. Но я думаю у меня терпения не хватит так аккуратно сделать 😢😂

[@CigarBoxBroGuitars]

Пробуйте! А ещё можно у меня заказать гитару))))))

[@andreygordeev2822]

Полюбопытствовал и посмотрел это видео, есть вопрос - если делается как бы с сустейн блоком, есть ли смысл в коробке? Получается, коробка как бы только для декора и чтобы крутилки спрятать. Извините, если что...

[@CigarBoxBroGuitars]

Коробка задаёт стиль гитарке..такой корпус..пустотелые гитарки звучат по своему. Можно конечно заполнить деревом коробку..скажется на звуке и кстати, играть стоя будет удобно ( будет баланс )..вот пример звука через маленький 3 вт комбик kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKGwhHVumJJnqsk

[@andreygordeev2822]

@@CigarBoxBroGuitars спасибо!

[@Donnybrook10]

invest in some card files and an old stanley #5 plane. It will make your job alot easier

[@CigarBoxBroGuitars]

Yes, it will definitely be easier ... with a planer! Thank you.

[@Tpood-us8sg]

very nice work my friend, it's look amazing🙂👍! but no demonstration is a big NO !

[@CigarBoxBroGuitars]

Thank you. A video with a demonstration is on my channel (all the guitars I have made are reviewed on the channel).

[@123pap]

How does it sound? Not very informative?

[@ralphvannaman2887]

Nice video, but your choice of music for the video sucks.

[@HOTA_CHATON]

Just need to get rid of that crappy music, if that's what it's supposed to be.

[@CigarBoxBroGuitars]

Yeah..just get rid of it..give yourself free rein. haha))
