Anyone have any experience using these? If so, are they worth using? Nothing against actual cigar boxes, just wondering in the event I was looking for something more I could put more of a personal touch on.

Thanks in advance.

  • There is a full view of it.

    Watch for ill fitting boxes.  Also, the tops are poplar ply and are a pain to get a good finish on.  If you stain, seal first.

  • There is one made from an aftermarket box.  It plays well and the box opens.

  • im about to use two of them from hobby lobby  . one of the big wood ones for an acoustic and the heart shaped card board for a uke for my daughter . Every box or tin i pass i pick up and tap . lol im sure i look crazy . even worse i usualy say oh i bet this will sound great ! haha ive noticed quite a few stares and confused looks . sad thing is all they have to do is ask and ill show them how to build one . info is free . you just have to be brave enough to ask a big tattooed guy standing in a craft store why he is tapping on heart shaped boxes lol .

  • They work fine, I have used them in the past for exactly what you are referring to.
