My first Cigar Box guitar. Black walnut neck, abalone inlayed dots, 1 lipstick pickup, one single coil sized humbucker, wired with a 4 way telecaster switch. Most part were from CBGitty except for humbucker and the control plate.

Great looking tele-CBG and the perfect strap. If you need playing help, check page top under resources. Looking at this makes me think you can play a six. If so, DGBE tuning is pretty much instant gratification.
Oh it growls! I routed the dots and the pickup holes using a Dremel and a StewMac router base. I learn A LOT while making it. Things like if you take a big chunk out of your through body neck out to put in a neck pick up, you need to figure out how to put something back. hence the neck heel. I also added wings in side the box, using a 2x4 essentially making a solid body.
It seems after floating around for half a life time, I may have found something to do with my life. Now I just have to figure out how to make money at it instead of spending!
