Royal Jamaica cigar box guitar

The first genuine cigar box guitar I've made, 600mm scale length, mahonony neck, walnut fretboard. I took advice from Roadkill and used tru oil on the neck, and it looks splendid (thanks for that!) Using lemon oil on the fretboard also brought out some lovely colours in the wood, and I'd do that again too. I'm quite pleased with this. I think it's tuned DAD - somewhere close at least.

    Just used one of these boxes for a uke! It was a pain. Nice build and much respect for using a difficult box!

    Very nice.  I have never tried that method for the saddle.  Looks worth a go.
