- This video is the extended version of my CBG build video I published back in January which can be seen here: • How To Make A Fretted ... In this video I've removed my own dialogue explaining each step of the build process so you can enjoy just listening to the tools and watching wood being chipped away. #NightHawkInLight

You know what's funny? It seems like every time you want to show us something important (like the screws or the frame), you're silently yelling "look at this. LOOK AT IT!" while gripping said item.
I love it.
Vixeneye1 BUT DID YOU LOOK AT IT?????? LOOOOOOOK
I just want to say, I think this video is edited to the perfect length and is very helpful in showing someone how to recreate this build.
I think the extended video was a splendid idea, it's cool to see how the Raw footage comes together into a completed video!
Total props. It shows what one can do with a bit of ingenuity and effort.
Great demonstration on how to make a good sounding cigar box guitar, with frets.
Cool build 👍👍
Some very interesting concepts. While it great to have something pre built all fancy, if you look at the heritage of these instruments, the originals were made out of what people could scrounge 😀
That was beautiful to see and hear.
I find this extremely relaxing to watch...
So I just watched 30minutes of a guy making a Cigar Box guitar, and that was simply amazing :)
Thanks for the vids ! Really great work :)
Well worth watching thanks for posting.
Sir NightHawk what a great work of art skill work craftsmanship creativity.God bless you for teaching me a new way to make a tuning machine...I love your work and video.
Great job night hawk I've been watching your vids ever since you started making them I've been such a bug fan of u and grant!! Keep up the good work 👍👍
Very interesting, I saw you previous video and I was curious about the woodwork in particular. Thanks for showing the details!
Excellent instructions, and well made video!
Hello I am French and I experience on the Internet and his shod pleasure that a person comes to see chain, I know that my videos his a little missed but I come hardly of began. Thank you
fantastic work!!!
I heard that Rusty Cage in there at the end. What a finish to a great video!
Well now I'm torn. I liked the narration of the first and I really liked this version. Same video but different! Really great stuff!
Obviously the best way to cut a hole.
I would like to see some videos of you just playing the guitar you made and I think everything you do is awesome so please keep up the good work!
set the speed to 2 and this is really fun to watch, great cuts
I think you have some really inventive ideas that solve a lot of problems when thinking about the construction of something like this, but there are some considerations you might want to think about which though might make it more difficult to construct would improve the sound of the instrument. The sound generates from the soundboard vibrating, which in your case is really just the neck and perhaps part of the cigar box. I'd suggest try making the portion of the neck that runs along the cigar box much thinner. It'll be able to vibrate more easily. The thickness of the neck makes dampens the sound by not allowing for much vibration. If you notice acoustic guitars don't pull the neck all the way to the bridge. They stop at the body for this reason.
That of course makes it hard to have a solid bridge which can handle the tension of the strings and not make the instrument collapse on itself. So for guitars they add bracing, which also helps to control the type of sound. Different bracing patterns underneath the soundboard create different effects. Dulcimers on the other hand just place a neck over a soundboard and run the whole way of the instrument. What's different is that they place they neck on top of the soundboard, and don't cut into it. This way the neck isn't the soundboard, and the box is. The idea is to have the neck be carved in arches so that the neck touches the soundboard in as few places as possible. This allows the soundboard to vibrate more freely and produce more sound. You could perhaps not cut away the box top (soundboard), and instead lay a thin neck over, arched in several places so as to touch in very few spots. This might allow for the box to vibrate a lot more than a very thick wooden neck. This will give a much brighter sound less thuddy less dampened.
I'd also suggest tilting your headstock, you really do want a good angle where the strings meet the nut. Your design is really interesting. As engineering it's quite brilliant. For quality of sound I'm not sure it works as well as it could though. It's a really inventive way to do it though and impressive using readily available materials. A good angle on that nut going downward should really improve things, and keep notes in tune so they don't vary when the string is being plucked. Just a few thoughts. Not trying to ding your design at all and I think it's really cool. You've got a good mind for engineering things.
You've inspired me to try my hand at guitar. Thank you :)
You build stuff like me. Using the chisel as a straight edge. Using nails as the frets. Using chisels instead of band saws. Hand sanding instead of a sander. I like it. Makes me want to try and build one.
Your CBG's are the Bomb .... love love love...
So good, well impressed.
Very cool build! Fret nails! Great idea, may have to borrow some of your ideas
This video is so relaxing
I'm always surprised when I'm searching completely unrelated projects im working on and i click a video without looking at the person who posted it and its always you. We have a lot in common, my dude haha
But you're much better at filming... and remembering to film. 😂 Keep it up, man. You're an inspiration and, at times even a life-saver.
Great video. Thanks
great tutorial! my chocolate box got a new life and sounds cool. went with its friends diddely bow, dustbin bass and washboard 2 month later for first public représentation.. gold inst none of us was playing inst before. great tanks!!
absolutely amazing
I'm pretty sure you're one of my favorite people, just like of all the people in general
You must be really good at guitar if you can make that kind of music from this thing! Nice job!
Great, real DIY level💪👌
This is a great video. I have built a couple myself but I like how you did this. thanks
I'd love to see more videos of you playing guitar, i can't get enough of that sweet sound you achieved
thanks for posting
that is very cool. you put alot of work into it. also nice playing :)
Awesome ! Thank you
i came here to watch and listen to you play guitar... i was not disappointed
I really like this kind of video :D
I like how you made it ;) :D
It's pure hand made
Best cbg video
ASMR for carpenters.
What are carpenters? Sabrina Carpenter fans? Cuz if yes im fucking in!
Suffering Lion Wood workers. :P
Actually i think i'm a little wood worker :D But anyways Carpenters are called Sabrina Carpenter fans :D. Easy to mess up, thanks for teaching me.
Ye i understood it. She is a singer, look her up.
This is awesome
Good job 👏
yeah! Great job man.
Sounds warm full tone.
I'd love a 5 - 10 minute video of you just playing - you've got some real talent!
Boring as all get out but I admire the tool work and I watched the whole thing and will use some of your techniques.
Your like "LOOK AT THIS!!! DO YOU SEE IT?!?!" With everything 😂😂
This is satisfying
Wonderful
This is oddly relaxing to watch
Lars Wintermans Gosh I am wasting my time...
You're really good on the guitar.
finally a video to make the speed option of the player usable...
Thank you!
Thanks man!!!
You're pretty good at guitar. You should just upload a video of you playing the cigar box guitar.
Love it 👍
Nice work m8
Muy bueno! La parte de los trastes lo podrías haber echo con el serrucho más prolijo
Thank you
Thanks for sharing m8
So talented :O
you got yourself a subscriber
Really nice camera work and work in general! :)
TheL.B. *General.
Renzeth Bulawan *general!
theplanerock Renzeth Bulawan fixed it
Wow, I think I will try this for my aquaponics farm .
Like those tuners
good vid
I have a hand crank drill from my late grandfather. make this totally authentic with "hand tools" :D Great job though mate!
Sound hole on top sounds better. I think the tone is amazing.
Maybe try marking your lines with a pencil. Ink soaks into the wood and makes it more work sanding later. Keep up the awesome work!
Very nice, thanks. Seems like a great project to do with the kids. The way you shape the fret board by chisseling seems unnecessarily laborious to me though. You should be able to remove much of that material a lot faster and more precisely with a saw and use the chisel only to shape the curves.
Is there something you can't do ??
You're so talented ;)
Nice 😊
a true home made
Nice tunning gear
Thank god for power tools.
I'm kinda wondering how many pieces of maple were ruined by chiseling. Before he finally got it.
Should have left the hinged part of the lid openable so it's easy to retrieve your pick when you drop it in the hole..... ;-)
Harold Weaver Smith I like the way you think
Harold Weaver Smith Ahhhh.....C'mon, the "turn upside down flip and shake" is a part of the acoustic guitar experience. lol. Whenever I lose a pick to the hole, music time becomes game time.LOL
David Wahlstrom Yeah, but think of the coolness factor. At the start of the guitar lesson, everybody else with "proper" guitars is laughing at your cigar box one, but when the pick-shaking starts, it's your turn to laugh... ;-)
Also allows for installation of piezo pickup, volume pot, and jack, and maybe battery for piezo preamp.
If you want to go that route.
Love the design of this. Great idea for the tuners.
good asmr vid
woooow you the best😄
I think it would be a fun one to see you make one with a homemade fret board attached to the neck. Lol I want to go all out when I make one and put a truss rod in lol it’s overkill I know
awsome
Noice video!
This was like HowToBasic without the eggs
Better than my starter guitar,which was 60 at wal-mart.
NightHawk is what I imagine liam neeson and Elijah woods kid would look like.
genial!
Can you just make a video of only you playing this guitar because it's awesome
Not sure why I spent 30 min of my life watching this. Maybe cause it's interesting
I find it hard to play mine. Of course that could be from the slice out of my arm taken out by the chisel, or when the string twanged off the nail thingy at the bridge end and took out my eye. Of course you don’t need eyes to play CBG but I think that’s why I sliced my other hand on some of the nails(sorry- frets) while attempting to play. Still, “no pain- no gain”.
Is it me or does this video remind me of all of a How To Basic's videos? It starts off nice and quiet then it gets crazy.
U are amaingb
Hello I think your instruments are awesome I was just wondering why you don’t do a nut at the top of the neck. I’m getting the idea that with the strings being pulled upwards mite keep the fret buzz away. Idk was just wondering..... great job. I think I’m going to try to make one soon and with your video it’ll help 😀
If you put a nut at the top you have to angle the headstock down so the strings put pressure on the nut. Using the staples and a piece of wood under the strings to lift them means you don't have to make an angled headstock.
Good
make a six stringer! that would be awesome! also does the neck bow on this guitar very much?
Cool
Think this would work with a stand up bass? A few modifications for measurements and I would also probably add pickups
Matt Stanton It could work for pretty much any stringed instrument.
