Overview
I wanted a fairly easy project to do to possibly display at MidSouthCon, and the current issue of Make Magazine had instructions on building a Cigar Box Guitar. While I am not really musically inclined, I thought this might be a fun first project.
Features
- Design and style
- 3-string guitar with a through neck made out of maple stock.
- Steel Strings
- Fretted neck (may go fretless if the fretting doesn't work out)
- Tailpiece/string mounted on through end of neck
In Progress
- Acquisition of materials
Future Improvements
- Addition of pickups or piezo buzzer to electrify the guitar
- Add more strings
- Make a finger slide
