The Versatility of the 3 String Cigar Box Guitar ... continued

Not only can you tune Cigar Box Guitars any way you like, you can also use any style strings (Nylon, steel, electric, acoustic...etc) These things are very VERY easy to play. This video touches on a few different design elements that really lend themselves to the 3 string Cigar Box Guitar.

Excellent Del. I want to learn to play and the 3 string cigar box is right up my alley. I love the idea of making a guitar out of basically junk. Well done!

Just found ya, I've been playing cbg for years. I love your channel. My Dad started w 3 string sliders and some fretted. Now he's making Tele's and such that rival American Fenders. It's such a great art. But I always get happily married lost in 3 strings. Great channel!!!

I just finished one for my mom for christmas. Cant wait to give it to her! It turned out awesome.

[@opsdaddy]

You’re the man, Del! There are others out there who offer CBG building techniques, and still others who present CBG playing lessons, but you’re the best single source I know of who does both-with lots of style, expertise, and humour thrown in for good measure. Thanks for sharing so many great and informative videos! Cheers from Vancouver, BC!

Love the paint lid resonator, though I think you should put in a piezo pick up under the bridge

Becoming a fan of this idea

You could make a whole tour like that!

I'm going to try making a fretless cigar box guitar with a rotating bow with a crank on it (like a piurate hurdy gurdy) just to see what will happen.

I'm surprised you didn't bring out one with a bass string for the lowest string. I've seen them done by Mike Snowden (Mr. Evil) and Chickenbone John. I'm thinking of building a 2 string bass and running it through a psycho knob if I ever have the time to build again.

[@maddhatter7891]

the guitar at 2:48 should have a power cord for a strap but still way awesome design

[@raccoonlittlebear6476]

Great video Del! Hey I was wondering, do you prefer that bone slide to copper, glass or steel?

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

I have no preference... whatever i have available... if it fits my finger!! 😎

Theres tons of prewired stuff sold that you just mount up and play.

It's all low voltage stuff. You'll be fine.

Im making a 5 string cigarbox with two piezos and a single pickup I have a question how do I put the indentions in the saddle

[@pieteralbertyn2601]

Hi Dale. Love your videos. I am currently building a number of CBGs to demonstrate some of the different options also shown in your video. Where can I find the "template" for setting up a fret board with just intonation (as shown on your CBG at about 4min 30 in video). I usually build to scale length of 630mm (about 24 3/4") but can adapt to anything close to that.

[@pieteralbertyn2601]

Apologies. First of all I, got your name wrong. Del, I have since seen your video on the fret spacings. I have also done a bit of study on the maths involved and now think I'll manage. Thanks for all of the useful info (and entertainment) you provide through your channel.

[@alissonoliveira4042]

Louuuuco!

[@pacococo3763]

oh you got quite the treasures back there.

[@dwaynebeach5848]

Hey Dell, Always love to here to play. What strings did you use on that paint can top CBG?

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

.026 wound .017 and .013 plain steels

[@sukioku8784]

very impressive. is any chance you have some box that played like a fiddle?

No... but check out cbgitty.com

[@krejdloc]

Hi If its possible could you post a picture of how you put the strings on that hinge. Apicture is worth a thousand words. TIA for any help . Keep posting these vids theyre great.

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

i just put a nail thru the round end of the string and then thread the string thru the hole on the hinge

[@patrickdunsmore8459]

Can you use a 25” scaled neck but have actually 23” nut to bridge? Or does that change notes to much

[@RANDALLOLOGY]

Would you share the schematic of the electronic effects ? I would like to try that on making a shovel guitar just to see how it would sound .

On which guitar ... the clear one? There’s a video on my channel about it. It’s called “psycho knob”

Maybe try making a turkish microtunal guitar?? My favourite band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard recently tried their hand with it, around 2 years ago, and I was wondering if it might be something you might want to try to adapt to your Cigar Box Guitars.

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

Send me a link ??

[@D__S__]

2 yrs late but check out "disoriented ghost" (it shows up first if ya search it) u might dig it, its got a conistent nylon fretless cigar box that plays along with microtonal guitars and such inspired by king gizz, one of my solo projects but based on yourcomment i figured id share as its both microtonal and cigar box haha

Everyone should make music! If you dont think you can do it with 6 strings try 3, if that dont work for you gotto one string! If you ain't got rythem or timing, try snapping your toes, to the beat & hopefully it will come to you! ( "the jerk" movie reference) If you dont think one string will work, check out, Bushy One String's "Chicken in the corn!" LoL
