    Cigar box anyone?

    This would have to be a cheap and easy one for the factory. A 3 or 4 string cigar box with a single pick up.

    Hi Dedman, most the parts for a CBG are cheap and readily available online so doubt Adam would order in CBG kits.

    Got one in a million bits ready to go together as soon as i get 5 mins, i make them out of biscuit tins mainly although i do have a good supply of cigar boxs. I tend to give them away to mates because they gather dust.

    looks cool Tony, I know the feeling when you get spare time to work on other projects !

    so is that bracing you put all around the edges of the biscuit tin to support the neck ?

    An experiment because without it the whole thing is too light and has no mass, thats just what i had on hand, i will do some thinner stuff. The neck itself goes all the way through and out the back and its a 3 string.

    Glad i went and took the pics, now i know where a couple of my missing sockets are
