Hi Cigarnationers...
Joined just today, been thinking about building my own license plate cigar box guitar for some time. Have decided on a 3 string, interested in other suggestions particularly around the pickup to use.
I'm a steel string acoustic singer / songwriter.
cheers
Tony

Fingerboard is also a name for it. Those dots can be helpful for learning the where the notes are. Just have to be sure your also training your ears also and not just the eyes so the dots don't become a crutch.
It's always good to start out with a pitch pipe to tune your gits when learning to play. It helps train your ear for the notes so you can pick up other places on the fingerboard/fretboard for the same notes at different pitch.
It's essential to learn where all the notes are on the board and hearing them is a big plus. Electronic Tuners are great for band/stage situations, but they can also be a crutch and hold you back from learning in some cases.
Thanks. I think I will get a pitch pipe. I've been playing (acoustic steel string) for close to six years now and being able to tune by ear certainly would be cool. I've tried to tune and then test with the electronic tuner but it didn't seem to do it for me.
For xmas my wife surprised me with the BBG - blues box slide guitar (I've seen them talked about on cigarboxnation), so that gives me an easy start to cbg. Still particularly keen to make my own, will pick up a good piece of hardwood for the neck next time we go into town where the hardware store is.
