  • In this video I focus on how to get a very tight neck pocket. Sounds are being generated using the Vox Mini5. If you would like me to build you a 3 string Cigar Box Guitar you can email me at the address at 16:38

    OK I am convinced; I will make a cigar box guitar!. Might be difficult on the kitchen table but I will make one. I am eyeing the table legs already!

    I love your soldering & neat bundling of your wires. My soldering technique is definitely an area I need lots of practice, and a cooler iron.

    Good morning Sir! Another beauty and it sounds great. I’m digging the veneers you’ve started putting on the headstock.

    Del, I enjoy your Video and Teachings, I've been watching for several years now, and I have 3 electric CBG's I'm working on the Neck, electronics and Strings to put on. One of them I forgot to put on 2nd part of the Bridge, but I'll work with it. Thank you so much!!

    You could also try rubbing a pencil in the lid side. When you close it there should be transfer marks on the high spots. Then you could erase or lightly sand them off.

    super.. i got one of those cigar boxe one time... but it's hard for me to get cigar boxes here in italy.. i have to pay 20Eu for each one.. that makes me hard to build my CBG .. i'm thinking of building the boxes by myself out of scrap wood ..

  • @loulamanna567
    @loulamanna567 4 года назад +4

    I've noticed that since you've got it you've been using the vox amp almost exclusively. Do you like it better than the microcube? I can say the delay seems better.
    As far as an idea on the 2way volume pot. What about a single coil and a humbucker both in the same position and being able to blend or choose which sound fits the song better.

    • @PuckettCigarBoxGuitar
      @PuckettCigarBoxGuitar  4 года назад +2

      The sky is the limit...as far as options go.
      Yes - the Vox tones are very inspiring

    • @loulamanna567
      @loulamanna567 4 года назад

      Like a variable 3way switch. What if you used it that way and still used a volume and tone pot. Would be pretty cool.

  • @davidskimin3471
    @davidskimin3471 4 года назад +1

    Hey Del, great tip with fret saw. Quick question buddy, what's the name of file/ rasp are you using. I have a variety of Stanley sure forms, but I've never seen a file like yours. Davy.

    • @georgemiller8694
      @georgemiller8694 4 года назад +1

      Just in case Del doesn't see your question, I think you're asking about the Shinto rasp. Rough cut on one side and fine on the other. I'm into woodcarving as well as building CBG's, and this rasp works great. Not expensive and easy to find online. I bought mine from Lee Valley here in Canada but I think Amazon has them as well.

    • @davidskimin3471
      @davidskimin3471 4 года назад

      Cheers George, I'll look on Amazon, I'm in Ireland.
