One of the different aspects of a Cigar Box Guitar like mine here ( LongHorn ) is the name...The guitar is tuned in open G and is designed as a Slide played instrument only. As a result of this you will notice the string height is exceptionally high...this is by design...the notes will be played singularly or played at each fret accordingly...I just finished installing the Fret markers...they are ...pyramid brass studs marking the fret position like a regular guitar but here is the difference when played...The slide is positioned directly at the fret you are playing, not behind it or between the fret position like in regular positioning with a standard guitar or bass. The reason I chose this style of stud is because light will reflect easily given their four side angles and they look pretty cool too!
