Me too!!!.....Im happy with the distressed look...it was a brand new box....and kind of soul less...so I gave it some history...sandpapered down the paper and rasped some heave use in the strumming area...then rubbed antique pine mixed with a little jacobean oak dye (spirit not waterbase...ever) over it all...a much more pleasing look I think..Ill do this to all cigarbox guitars I'll build..the Humbucker looks good to I think
