my 2nd cigar box guitar

CBG #2. Defintely a superior job to #1, but #3 will be even better. Got the ol' $2 radio shack piezo in there. Sounds good...very responsive but got some wolftones goin on. neck is oak. body is a macanudo cigars mahogany(I think) box. Nut and bridge are threaded bolts. Tailpiece ferrules are T-nuts from the hardware store. I made the neck to accomodate 4 strings...then realized I only had room on the headstock for 3 tuners...then ran out of time as this is a wedding present for a friend.

Next CGB will have a truss rod and a thinner neck.

not bad, what do you tune the strings to?

[kevkraft]

Did you use a preamp for amplification? What about reports I hear about piezos producing lots of feedback? Is the installation and wiring complex?
