[AdlejandroP]

need help! ,made my 1st cigar box guitar, but it doesnt sound as loud as i would want it to sound, did you put an amp to yours? if not, How can i make it sound it louder? what makes it sound so anti loud (dont know the exact word in english)?

[juz72]

You Need to put pick up in and amplify!

[Bobbymitchell10]

@AdlejandroP the correct word for anti loud is "quiet"

[axemanand]

Great sound. Great playing.

[hpeter59]

I would not call the sound ''nice'', rather : brilliant, lovely ..and: well played on top..
