Wow, thanks for the visit. It's gonna take a bit longer to get that guitar going I'm afraid, Dana has decided to move, so...its going to be awhile. Thanks for watching!
I'm a little confused. I just joined this channel a few minutes ago after watching you start the build process of a CBG, and it was from two months ago. I thought there would be a part 2 since you didn't finish the build. So I went to your main page looking to see if there was a part 2, and I found this video. The other video was the Stew Mac as well.
Yup, we did a unboxing look and the build vid. Dana wanted to wait for warmer weather to start the finishing process. Sadly he is in the process of selling his house. He has vowed to finish the kit though. Thanks for watching!
Watch some build videos by Del Puckett (he has many many cbg videos and a number of complete builds...his cbgs are a bit on the rough not-polished side but his knowledge is solid and friendly demeanor engaging)...I learned many many things from Del!
@@hurdygurdyguy1 Good call. I just got done watching a build video and he sure makes you want to give it a go. I like the rustic quality of his builds. My only complaint would be, he doesn't have a drummer to make stupid jokes.😂Thanks for watching!
Looks like a fun build. But to me, it is not really a cigar box guitar. I have built a lot of cigar box guitar over the years. I used real cigar boxes for mine. Made my own necks and so on. This kit like I said looks like a fun thing to do. But traditional cigar box guitars were all made from stuff like a cigar box. They are a lot of fun to make. There are no rules on how one comes out! They all have their own MOJO! Be nice to see this one done.
Yes, it's a cigar box shaped guitar. Making one from scratch and found parts would be interesting! I have to finish this one first. Thanks for watching!!
@@chasewinters7050 Lol! The box used was never used for cigars! Back when the cigar boxes were used for a string instrument, it was what was available. It was a poor man's guitar. There is a MOJO that goes with a real cigar box that gets lost when someone makes a box and calls it a cigar box guitar. Plus, this is a manufactured thing that is made to look like a cigar box guitar. It does look like a fun project. But to me, it not a real cigar box guitar. It's a lot more fun to find a real cigar box and make it into something with a lot of MOJO. That is the way they were made a long time ago. Too many things go from something fun to going into production and making lots of money on it. This is nothing but a model. You buy it, put it together. No use of woods you find in your home, not looking for cool things that help make it a cigar box guitar with tones of MOJO. Look at some past cigar box guitars and how they are made. Look at what they used to make them. They are way cool! But one can put the name of “cigar box guitar” on this. But to me, it will only be a manufactured model of what is supposed to be a cigar box guitar! So I guess there is that rule. LOL But what I meant from no rules, you can make it any way you want. You're not stuck to something like trying to copy a guitar like a Finder or Gibson. It can be anything from one string to 6 or more. But most are now made with 3 to 4 strings. I have made them 3, 4, and 6 sting cigar box guitars from scratch. Some have no truss rods, some do. Some are acoustic and some are electric. See, no rules. I have used all kinds of things to make the nut's bridge, sound holes and so on. They are a form of folk art. I guess this is a way to get into making a cigar box guitar and that it will teach you some things. But why not cross over and make one from scratch? It's not hard to do.
Nice and easy build, cant wait to hear you playing this thing! Greetings from Germany - Uli

Hey Uli. Good seeing you here
Your video helped me finally decided to cave in and order one of the kits, thank you guys much for the awesome video!
If Dana can build it while being mocked by a drummer any one can. Glad to be of help. Thanks for watching!

If there are no rules..... Then why isn't this a cigar box guitar?
