Barometric weather station conversion I just bought from Italy. Full rebuild on the cards with all custom paint, fittings, tremolo and bridge setup, custom headstock, pickups and much more planned 🙂1yr ⋅ 420_doge_dude ⋅ r/cigarboxguitars
My #16! For this one, I made my own magnetic pickups. Not that easy but I learned a lot.3yr ⋅ docth ⋅ r/cigarboxguitars
My very first cigar box build. A friend introduced me to gigr box, and even if I have no musical experience I did enjoy the process of making one for myself. What do you think?2yr ⋅ francesc_zamora ⋅ r/cigarboxguitars
Just finished my first resonator tenor ukulele - where would you put the sound hole(s)?1yr ⋅ cwtguy ⋅ r/cigarboxguitars
were can I find lessons for a fretless? I've looked up tutorials on YouTube and most of them are for fretted guitars.1yr ⋅ sheeps_heart ⋅ r/cigarboxguitars

Asked my friend to build me a cigar box guitar, but he instead custom built a fully planked miniature coffin body. Does it count?5yr ⋅ GhostSpelledBackward ⋅ r/cigarboxguitars
Can I make a pickup out of this? (see comment for slightly more details)1yr ⋅ How2Soul ⋅ r/cigarboxguitars
First build. Spent $0. Just salvaged spare parts from past guitar builds. The Phat Cat p90 sounds killer. Can’t wait to build another!4yr ⋅ capnchubby ⋅ r/cigarboxguitars
[HELP!] My piezo is too sensitive. When I touch the back of the neck, everything is ringing like crazy. What can I do? I fixed it on the neck under the bridge with a small amount of glue. Any advice?3yr ⋅ docth ⋅ r/cigarboxguitars
First build! I didn't want to waste the other half of the string set4yr ⋅ bassic_bitch ⋅ r/cigarboxguitars
My dad makes custom cigar box guitars. I'm super proud of how cool they turn out and wanted to share his Hulk build. (Link in comments)5yr ⋅ twigee89 ⋅ r/cigarboxguitars
[Question!] I made two little pickups. I'd like to connect them both to the volume and jack socket, so they will work combined as one. How do I do that? Can't find a wiring diagram online :(3yr ⋅ docth ⋅ r/cigarboxguitars
The edge of the box kept digging into my wrist, so I figured my CBG needed a padded arm rest5yr ⋅ Foolwithaguitar ⋅ r/cigarboxguitars
Not technically a CBG, but it carries the same DIY ethos. I just finished making this today. It's my first build and I am very pleased with how it turned out and it sounds great.4yr ⋅ KlausRockwell ⋅ r/cigarboxguitars
Planning my first CBG build. I’m wanting the A Fuente logo to line up with the neck. Is it wrong to have the box oriented perpendicularly?3yr ⋅ FeloniousMonk12 ⋅ r/cigarboxguitars
Looking for ideas to bling this out. Making this for a buddy but I feel the license plate itself is quite plain with lots of empty white space... anyone got any ideas to add to this?3yr ⋅ NeverHappenAnyway ⋅ r/cigarboxguitars

Finished my latest guitar . Messing around with different tunings . Gonna settle for DGBE so I can play uke chords and when I’m in the mood for blues I can retune DF#AD!5yr ⋅ Betthedog69 ⋅ r/cigarboxguitars
My strings keep breaking like this, does anyone know why this might be happening?4yr ⋅ JaH247 ⋅ r/cigarboxguitars
Cigar Box Mandolin: first try. Punch cigar box, hand carved cherry neck, nail tailpiece, all-thread bridge, store-bought fret wire and tuners. Plays OK; the intonation is a little off and the action is high, but both can be adjusted.7yr ⋅ TheIteratedMan ⋅ r/cigarboxguitars
My latest abomination. I think this will be my new favorite hobby.3yr ⋅ precision1998 ⋅ r/cigarboxguitars

Hey everyone new to this sub and thinking about doing my first CBG. I have a few questions before I start. Is there an advantage to doing a through neck vs bolt on?3yr ⋅ Hami_509 ⋅ r/cigarboxguitars

I'm planning on making my first cigar box guitar. I have this really nice box, but I'm worried the wood is too thick and that it won't resonate enough. What makes a good box for an acoustic guitar, and will this one be good?6yr ⋅ MCWhodat ⋅ r/cigarboxguitars
