AGP #503 – “Party-Gas”3 String Fretless Baritone Cigar Box Guitar584.2mm /28½ inchesStrings : .030NW/.018NW/.014PS/Tunings: C G cThe 2nd of my recent Cigar Box Purchases, and the 9th Partagas D Series Cigar Box Build I’ve done over the years.The Recycled Neck is, what I think is European Beech ??,finished with 3 coats of Dewaxed Super Blonde Shellac.Two 4.6k Chrome Lipstick Single Coil Pickups are wired through a 3 Way Switch, Vol and Tone Pots to the Output Jack.The Wiring did cause a couple of problems when first hooked up, one was the Neck Pup not reading its full 4.6k potential, eventually found a fault in the “New” 3 Way Switch contacts, the other problem was the Output Jack, not engaging properly, after checking for loose connections or faulty soldering etc., finally after a lot of Head Scratching, discovered that when I went to close the Box Lid, I found that one of the Screws securing the Bridge Pup was protruding down into the workings of the Output Jack, Snipped & Fixed. :-)
