    I just made a template from one of my "real" guitars.

    This is the site I've been using - calculates based on number of frets and string length

    First off, there's nothing unique about Cigar box instruments. Any guitar, uke, banjo, dulcimer or trombone template will work. Oops, trombones don't have fretboards.

    If you want a metal or lucite template, try Stewert-Mac or Luthier Mercantile International Inc.

    Paper templates? You can print out your own off of some web pages.

    What are you looking for?

    a great alternative is to use a template ruler from Darren Dukes of BackPorch Mojo.... He's a member here.. look him up

    Here's an easy to use template for the 24.5 scale. I used it and it worked great for me.
