What kind of strings did you use for this guitar?

Looks great! Just one question if I wanted to add pickups to make this electric where would you reccommend putting them, and how many? I'm not sure if you have any experience with doing this or not, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

@TheRobot452 Hey I made a guitar after watching this video and added an electric pickup. I used a piezo transducer which I glued (after I'd stripped off the extra bulky plastic) to the top of the neck of the guitar going through the cigar box body in order to pick up the most vibrations. Seems to work pretty well.

@SHAMUS442009 Thanks, and buddy, scuse me for being vulgar, god bless.

[Snackay]

Good job.

[w0onka]

Fuck can someone please confirm me if I understood well?

1'' by 2'' actually lengths 2/3'' by 1 1/2'' ???

Cause I just bought a 8 feet of fucking poplar and I just think I got screwed.

[NorthTxBalla]

@w0onka Poplar too soft. I would recommend Oak.

[StixH]

Ive been very interested in building one of these and i just quit my job so i have some time on my hands. Went to a cigar store today and gave the guy 10 bucks for 4 boxes so i can screw around and make a couple. Thanks so much for the video, cant wait to start working on it tomorrow!

Hi there. Really neat project you have there! I have a question about the angled head stock. How do you cut that angle. What tool are you using to cut that angle.
