Puckett, this video made me teary! Yes, I'm a girl. I've loved the idea of cbg's and previously watched your videos but today was different. I felt a stirring in my spirit. I think the Lord has a future that involves the glorious sound and frame of those sweet guitars. Maybe a jigsaw piece of the puzzle of His plan for me. Thank you for sharing this.

That is wonderful, I never knew cigar boxes could make such good sound, I live in spain and we have some serious cigars over here so Im off to the cigar shop and ask for some boxes and have a go making one, I cant play, I can cut wood perfectly as I am a carpenter but my daughter plays a spanish guitar and electric so will be able to tune it and play it for me. I just love the sound it makes. Thanks for the video. Serious music.

Excellent video as always. You are the best as far as I am concerned about helping others perfect the technique of building CBG instruments. The first thing I learned a few years ago from you was how to build that little bridge with the fret wire installed in the top of a piece of wood. I still think those things are one of the best bridges a person can use on one of these instruments and keep them looking like some to the originals. What is the best size piezo that you recommend for a build like this?
