Have had some cigar boxes sitting around for a while so with an amp circuit I got from ebay for about a dollar, a speaker and a few other bits and pieces I threw this together for a bit of fun.

That' cool! I'm gonna build a cbg also in winter time / spring and this might be fun to build also. You got any spesific specs on the amp etc?
This is the little amp circuit from ebay.

I've been trying to find some cigar boxes forever! Where did you find yours? I want to build a 3 string slide box
That one came from gumtree was too small for a CBG when it turned up so I did this instead. I've never found one big enough and I don't smoke so that option is out and I sometimes think about pinching one of those twinings tea boxes from motels. I did do a 3 stringer out of scrap timber for the time being until I find something I can use.
It's fun for annoying the wife

It's a pain trying to find boxes here too. I've been through all websites for interior deco etc and no luck. Seems I have to make one myself too.
What's the size of that box? I was planning something like 20cm x 25cm x 7cm outer measurements. Should I go bigger?
That is very close to the dimensions that i used. Have you been to http://www.cigarboxnation.com/ there is great information and projects on there and you can download a PDF from this page that is very handy http://www.cigarboxguitar.com/knowle...-joshua-gayou/
Have googled some but thanks for the tip. I'll check it out.
Hey Fuzzbeard that amp and your CBG is way cool, you have given me an idea to build a mini amp.
I got quite a stash of cigar boxes that I collected from about 3 years ago, building CBG's is what got me into building PBG kits.
Nicko try the local tobacco shops but I think these days the boxes come plain and could even be cardboard. The dimensions you said are plenty big enough. You could easily build a box out of 5mm thick plywood and get some cigar stickers on ebay maybe
Current Builds and status
scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks
Telemonster double scale tele - finish tobacco burst on body and sand neck
Completed builds
scratch oak.rose gum Jazzmaster - assembled needs setup
MK-2 Mosrite - assembled - play in
Ash tele with Baritone neck - neck pup wiring tweaks and play in
Now that I think of it - to get exactly what I want with the box/body it's better to put it together myself.
One cool case for the amp could be some army surplus radio/equipment case or something similar. Old and road worn...
