Reg Seward replied to Chris Wharton's discussion Joinery suggestions for hand-made boxes in the group Building a Cigar Box Guitar 101

"That is more or less how I do mine, much like making a drawer box. You use rubber, I use masking tape. The sides can be planed to unequal heights, the ends different as a result, and the final result is quite easy on the eye..... Braced in the…"

Reg Seward replied to Chris Wharton's discussion Joinery suggestions for hand-made boxes in the group Building a Cigar Box Guitar 101

"To put forth my six pennyworth, I have made three 'box' guitars, a few years back now, but all were three string. I had no idea where I was coming from at all, just an idea.... I planed up at great effort, bevels on all corners,…"

"Swipe me, Jaffa Cakes, I had forgotten them. Were they not the subject of a controversy over whether or not they could be classed as a biscuit, or actually a cake...??? Something to do with different taxation or something.... pathetic…"

Reg Seward replied to Dickie's discussion 2 string cbg in the group Building a Cigar Box Guitar 101

"Hi, I had the same dilemma when I began making. I had an old guitar neck already first time, but it was way too wide. I chose not to actually finger the strings i.e. chords etc, but instead to use a slide. I reduced the width of the neck quite…"

Reg Seward replied to James Pobog's discussion I think I hit the jackpot.... in the group Lap Steel World

What do you find most interesting about cigar box guitars?
