<p>I want so much to make a mahogany box with dovetail joints like regular cigar boxes, but I don't have the skill. I can buy the mahogany - maybe 1/4 inches for the sides and bottom and 1/8 for the top - ?</p>
<p>It would be easier to find someone who makes boxes like that. Does anyone know of such a person?</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><a href="http://barthopkin.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bart Hopkin</a> is one of the greatest modern minds of musical instrument design. His writings & recordings, especially his seminal <em>Experimental Musical Instruments Magazine</em> have influenced everyone from Tom Waits to our own Shane Speal, who says "there may not have ever been a cigar box guitar movement had I not discovered Bart Hopkins back in the late 1990's." </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Recently, Hopkin has been uploading video demos of his massive trove of instruments to <a href="http://https://www.youtube.com/user/bhpkn/videos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">his Youtube channel</a>, giving short descriptions. This latest video features his "Guitar-Like Things," stringed instruments that resemble guitars, but have otherworldly features. We describe these as "breaking the rules" because Hopkin uses some radical designs in each, including guitar strings that branch out into a Y, guitar bodies made from wobbly steel and bridges that excite strings quite differently than conventional ones.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Most of these instruments were created with a one-piece neck/body that was simply fretted. We've listed each instrument after the video and linked to more information on his website.</span></p>

<p></p> Are there a set of plans for a six string Cigar box guitar?tag:www.cigarboxnation.com,2021-03-02:2592684:Topic:36084042021-03-02T14:52:18.874ZVirgil Fiorihttps://www.cigarboxnation.com/profile/VirgilFiori
<p>I searched through older threads. I found a couple that could be helpful but the links did not work. I have the guitar neck of my first ever guitar. Sentimental to me. I want to use it in the build. I have made ukuleles and guitar amps but I have never made and electric six string. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> I just received this old Tampa Nugget Cigar Box, it's pretty neat and has a little history in our family if you could believe it. I'd love to turn it into a guitar, but my problem is that it's pretty thin, almost like cardboard. I'm still relatively new to building them and would love some tips or ideas on how to strengthen the box, if at all.</span></p>

For me, adding a humbucker I had to rethink how I do the neck inside the cigar box. I think it turned out pretty nice, and the sound the humbucker picks up compared to a piezo is amazing, I think I'm hooked and will continue to start using humbuckers.</p>

<p>Andy</p> Selling The Blues Lagoon, 4-String Reso. • 9.5" Biscuit Cone • '61 Falcon cone covertag:www.cigarboxnation.com,2019-03-02:2592684:Topic:33000352019-03-02T13:53:06.803ZBlind Doughboyhttps://www.cigarboxnation.com/profile/BlindDoughboy
<p>I'm selling one or two of my resos (trying to raise funds to buy a side bending machine),</p>
<p>The details, photo, and video, are below, but this guy is an extremely fast player and very loud even unamped (but it does include internal pickup and volume control). It includes a cone cover that began life as the hubcap of a 1961 Falcon.</p>
<p>Will sell for $250 + whatever the shipping comes to (probably around $50). Paypal would be best. You can contact me directly…</p>

<p>Hello! new member here and i have not posted yet so i think it's time! Sadly not for a good reason.</p>
<p>I have just finished my first Cigar box guitar and strung it up. When tuned to GDG i get a buzz on the thickest string when not fretted and it goes away when i fret. I have squeezed the box in a few spots to see if that would help but no luck. I have pushed down on the nut and the bridge but no luck there either but it sound like it's coming from the nut or bridge.</p>
<p>I have a video…</p>

<p>I have a video of how it sounds attached.</p>
<p>It really bugs me that i can't get a clean note as i have to learn how to play too! </p>
<p>I hope someone of you kind people can help me with this because i'm eager to start to play! </p>
