I was able to purchase a similar smaller Cuesta Rey cigar box and applied it to the headstock. Looks nice and really dresses the whole CBG up.I ended up remaking the nut out of a brass toilet bolt.

There's a white edge that needs a thin line painted to cover it up you can't see in the pic. I tried to tape and spray and got a bit of bleed on the edges that is more apparant in this close up pic. Next time I need to use a small brush and hand paint the line. Over all I'm pleased. Appreciate all the positives!
that part right there is the icing on the cake,the finishing touch that sets it apart from all the rest. great looking cigar box guitar Norm. it looks like it sounds real good too.
I just did something like that with one of my builds, but I did it because I screwed up the headstock and needed something to cover it up. A piece of a broken box did the trick just fine.

Fernando do you have pics of your new building?
I appreciate all your feedback!
I'm considering a wider headstock so I can incorporate more of the art and color from the cigar box into it.
