Cigar Box Short Scale

CigarBox Guitar

20″ scale 4 string

I have a friend that is 98 years old, when he saw my cbg he gave me this 100 year old cigar box. I decided to make a 4 string 20″ scale CBG with it. It gave me a new sound to add to my collection.

preparing the box for the neck

cutting out the neck for the sound hole

gluing the fret board to the neck

installing the frets

installed the tuning keys

added the cbg pickup and piezo in the instrument

Here is the final result. Could use some dots for markers by the sound and short scale really sound interesting.
