Multiscale Cigar Box Guitar! | Rebuilding a previous Guitar Build

[@robertr4193]

Looks pretty cool. Nice fix on making the neck stronger. Like the walnut fret board and the flame on the back side of the neck while not outstanding it does look nice and adds interest. Over all a nice rebuild of an earlier cigar box guitar you built.

Now with a little modification, you can use the old neck as a bolt on for a semi hollow cigar box... Could be awesome!

Interesting approach - bring out the bad in order to highlight the good. Hey Jeff, does it make sense to screw the neck to the TOP panel of a hinged cigar box, and flip open the bottom of the box in order to access the inside of the body? It seems that would require looser openings in the box bottom around the neck - would that cause issues? If so, what about removing the hinges and screw the bottom onto the face of the cigar box?

Thanks. You're correct, if you wanted the bottom to open, there would need to be more space at the joint for the neck. I don't think it would cause any negative consequences but I feel it may look unsightly. I like to keep the gaps to a minimum. Now removing the hinges altogether would be a nice solution and have the back secured with screws. My only issue with that is again unsightly holes or gaps where the hinges were. If that's not a concern, that would be a great way to go. Great ideas.

@@homebuiltshop Yeah. I plan to pop out the wire in the hinges, but keep the hinge plates as-is.Then use wood blocks glued to the top corners. These blocks will have recessed t-nuts to receive the long screw from the back through to the front. So the bottom slides straight on and then is screwed on.

How did you make the headstock thicknessing jig?
