My first Cigar Box Guitar Build. Padron 7000 Delta Blues

[ohsnapitzjenny]

Cool guitar. But is it me or does this guy look like Sinjin from Victorious on Nick?

[pocodog1]

I want to punch you in the fuckin head.

[frans688]

ho do you tune your guitar??

grat job by the way

[theMansalad]

@frans688 It must have been GDG which is essentially a power chord tuning. You can transpose that any way you want, AEA, FCF, EBE, etc. You may also try F#DA which gives you a full inverted D chord. I'm going to direct you to cigarboxnation for information and stuff relating to these fine instruments.

You could actually cut a sound hole into it for more sound and have an acoustic-electric guitar! Where did find specifically Chinese tuners?

[GrindStreetMusic]

I wonder how one would go about adding volume and tone knobs to one of these.

[estderoma]

how did you build the piezo in?

[SuperMrAusten]

How were the cigars? Lol nice box

@rockinchick1219 double post. Uh... A D and G strings off an ernie ball light set. Hope that helps.

[rockinchick1219]

which guitar strings did you use?



[theMansalad]

@rockinchick1219 These are just electric guitar strings, I think ernie balls.

[KurtCobinmyhero]

Dude, that's so fucking sweet and it sounds really good....do you know the item number for the piezo transducer? Cuz I can seem to find it anywhere at radioshack, thanks.

[theMansalad]

@KurtCobinmyhero I really do not know what I used in this build, It had a circuit board, which is not normal. I have been using I believe 273-066, but I am not sure. You might want to check with the guys over at cigar box nation, as I'm sure they can help you better. You probably want to join anyway, as they are a great community full of advice and ideas that they are willing to part with.

[kevkraft]

@KurtCobinmyhero 273-0073 is the order number. I suggest installing two transducers to cut down on some of the impedance.

[ckyguy5]

Very well done. I just ordered a cigar box to make a guitar amp. Now after watching this I'm definately gonna order one to make a guitar.

[Birdog225]

Wicked cool! Thanks for posting this on our group "Amazing Musical Instruments"

It is way amazing! What is that open tuning you're using?

[theMansalad]

It's a GDG open tuning.

I checked out your channel to see if you had any videos and saw that you comment quite frequently on videos... Because of what you told other this compliment means a lot to me. XD

[tjm3]

[theMansalad]

@tjm3 Thanks!

[schooler55]

did you check that Beck video out?

[theMansalad]

@schooler55 yes I did. It is similar though I was just improvising...

[1MikeCollins1]

You said "Hi this is Tiddy"

[theMansalad]

No, I didn't... You're being ridiculous

[schooler55]

that reminds me of the opening for Loser by Beck
