My First Cigarbox Ukulele

Posted by Chris Sturhann on June 12, 2019 at 7:13pm

This is my first cigarbox ukulele, a CB Gitty Bento Box. The art is a vintage cigarbox label I found on eBay. I did a couple of different colors underneath the turquoise paint, so I could lightly sand and see bits of the other colors coming through. It has pretty decent tone, acoustic, no pickups. My only complaint is the neck is very chunky, like you're playing a 2 by 4.
