the part that impressed me was that it appears you purposefully avoided and actual guitar parts. the only this on it is the strings. you used mainly hand tools and what is clearly scrap wood and a cigar box. very well done!
I love that hand plane you were using
very fine job
wonderful sound
That's an awesome sounding guitar .. 🎸🔥🔥
tuning pegs are really nice .... i like the idea! good job 👍
Loving your tuners - very oldschool
Brilliant, total respect.
Nice, really appreciate the use of hand tools...!
Good job, thanks for sharing.
Hermoso instrumento. Gracias por el video.
Awesome video!
WOW.. very nice .. love it ..
Nice guitar, just wish you would have given the same attention to close up camera work attaching the strings to the eyelets, but good job on the guitar. Really, very nice.
Cool build video!
Very good ...!
Muito bom!! Very good!
i made one of these back in the day. a lot of fun.
yours came out a lot nicer though :) and sounds better
cheers
I made a banjo out of a cakepan, some cheap wood and with bbq skewers as frets. Feels like shit, sounds like Shit, but was a fun build.
Excellent!!! I Will made One, i Will use for country!!!
What Amp is that at the end?
Awesome woodworking skills
Nice Job! Great sounding instrument.
Show man.!!!!
Hi, can you please tell me what did you use as tuner pegs or machine heads? Where can I get it from and what it is called?
Please reply😊
I had to click, my first CGB was with an Olivia box. Doesn't sound anywhere close to as good as yours sounds. great video!
Like the Teac open reel...
Did you drill holes in the tuners?
How did you attach the Peizo? Is it just in there loose? What's the purpose of the yellow tape under the lid?
The yellow tape is like big electrical tape, it's actually gym floor tape. I just taped the piezo down temporarily so that I could experiment with placement. Once you know where you want it hot lgue is probably the best option to stick it there for good.
Bonjour,en quelle bois est le manche svp.merci
Que cuerdas lleva y que afinación ?
Und wo hast Du nun den Piezo hingeklebt ?
Hey could you explain how you tied the strings around the tuning pegs?
DezCon5..I would like to know that too.
i think he like put'em around the things
Parts list?
Good idea for the tuners...
What's you strings tuning?
GDG
Класс!!!
uncle crow approves ;)
How is the tuning?
It's truthfully pretty painful to get it in tune, but once it's tuned it holds really well so...
@@MerwinMusic Well if It works!!! Is an amazing fully DIY, and you are very talented!!!
Justin Jhonson like this guitar...
Добро!
can you explain your tuning pegs?
I could but they work better in theory than in practice, so I don't if I would recommend them.
Great job, but sometimes I think you should use gloves for protection.
get a jigsaw mate.
Que istrumento feio
Si a voce no gusta no vea o video
OMG! Even 2x the speed was slow... But still, good job.
it was going so well then you talked... lol
Nice but not every one has the use of a shed, and a vice, and we're all not as proficient with tools and skills as this fella, I would rather hear instructions, watch it over 6 episodes,, repetition in this case would be key
Yea Im hip Most the dyi vids on cigar box builinh1 I've noticed the lack of mentioning measurements and descriptions of materialist but I'm so ready to do this DooWaDiddy
17.817 this is the dividing number to use when aquiring fret spacing.. from the center of the nut to the center of the bridge= is commonly called the scale.. ok. are you ready ? to find the placement of the 1st fret (to avoid confusion, lets use my CBG scale ,its 25) divide 25" by the magic number i gave earlier- 17.817. my calculator reads 1.4031542 , this will be the distance(in inches) from the center of the nut to the center of the 1st fret. not too hard. now to get the 2nd fret, measure from the center of the 1st fret to the center of the bridge & divide by the magic number 17.817. again my calculator reads 1.3244006". this will be the distance from the center of the 1st fret to the center of the 2nd fret.. not really hard, just long division & careful measuring. i hope you see a pattern forming bc this is a lot of typing, lol. ok, ready ? the distance(in inches) from the center of the 2nd fret to the center of the bridge should be divided by the magic number 17.817. and the answer you get will be the distance (in inches) from the center of the 2nd fret to the center of the 3rd fret. measure 3rd fret to bridge, div. by magic # , answer is distance from 3rd to 4th. measure 4th to bridge, div. by magic# , answer is from 4th to 5th. i hope this wasnt to confusing & it helps. for 3string CBG's i make 1.5" wide necks. i make my scarf joints using 13° & i like to use at least 1 dowel to help support the joint. i like to make my bridge be 2.5" from the back of cigar box on all CBG's, the neck-thru & the neck stopped inside box. i like to make a 1.5"wide heel piece that mates to the bottom of the neck and lives inside the box except for appx.2.5" that protrudes out toward the headstock, it helps support the neck & i mitre it up at 45° to the neck and try to sand it good, mine gets a 1/2" roundover w/ my router . i like to make my fretboards 1/4" thick & cut from maple or walnut , i can get them local. but there lots of tight-grained hardwoods that would work flawlessly. ok. im out. good luck 👍🏻😎
Wrong tools, worse performance...
You have womens finger nails! 🤣
