"Yea, don’t focus on what kind of box, there are lots of builds here without them. We like them just the same :)"

"It's in the style of a Cigar Box Guitar, which in my mind is the same as the real thing, at a rough guess, I'd say that 90% of the #424 builds I've done so far, are home made box's etc, but I refer to all of them as Cigar Box…"

I am an amateur woodworker. I also have wish that I could place guitar but I never learned. Cigar box guitars combine the two things and 3 strings give me a better chance to be successful. I only wish I had known of 3 string guitars 50 years ago, lol.
