Hallo All,

Posted by Rob on February 11, 2016 at 1:53am

i am rob from Austria and new to the CigarBox world. To make musik is one of my favourites and i try to play acoustic guitar Rag and Blues stuff. Surprisingly it took me 50 years to get infected with the CBG virus ...

As result i started my 1st build - a 3 string fretless - and here it is the result. Neck is maple and the fretboard is plum (damned hard ...) and bolt on. The Box origin is Panama, made from Cedar. I was suprised by the sound: loud with long sustain and very good over the amp.

Time to learn slide now ......

    Yes thats true. All my Guitars have Cedar Tops and the hights are not so harsch like Spruce Top Guitars. I like the sound. If you can get Plumwood for the Fretboard, give it a go, its fantastic but difficult to get.

    Welcome to the sickness. I'm making one now with a homemade Cedar box with a Red Oak neck & fretboard. Cedar has a nice mellow tone.
