Second cigar box guitar

Experimental :) Low action and no frets to make it possible to play it like a fretless bass guitar. Playing it with an e-bow is difficult, though. The inlay was also experimental. I do regret the triangular soundholes.

    Thanks Uncle! It looks a bit short in the photograph, but I wanted to make my garden look bigger :)

    I think it looks good.

    Thanks Gary! Concerning the fret markers, they are plastic ribbon glued into the fret slots. And indeed, I decided on triangular holes because of the MonteCristo logo, but I don't really like them ;)

    Nice!  So what appear to be frets are just contrasting inlay?  Pretty cool!  I wouldn't beat myself up over the triangular soundholes, though.  They seem in keeping with the MonteCristo box design IMHO.  Very well done, Peter!
