  • Glad you like it Uncle John! I have not seen it done on a cigar box guitar. The first cut was the hardest, after that, no problem.

  • That is great.  Don't think I have seen it done before.   

    Do you have a license to do this kind of thing?

  • Thanks Kale! I like the aesthetic proportions on most cigar boxes better than that of a typical license plate, so I figured this approach was worth a try. It will be my “go to” guitar for the time being.

  • Very nice Doug.

  • The idea is not completely original Alan. I’ve seen Telecaster style electric guitars with angle license plate pickguards and thought they looked pretty cool. Turns out I can do the same kinda thing on a cigar box. A 23” scale length neck has become my go to; not too long and not too short.

  • Definitely a different take on a License Plate Guitar, and nice to see another 23" Scale Build :-)

  • Glad you like my different take on a license plate guitar BrianQ! I agree on the bridge, easier to do on a smooth surface.

  • Kool, like that cutout, the bridge would have warped sitting atop the plate eventually, so you saved yourself on this one!
