Workshop Project - Building a three-string cigar box guitar.
I have always been interested in learning to play the guitar, it's not something that comes naturally to me, I've had some lessons in the past and now while we have time on our hands have picked it back up and have another go.
While watching some videos on RU-vid I stumbled across Del Puckett's channel where he builds and plays three-string cigar box guitars. It really got me inspired to see if I could build my own.
/ @puckettcigarboxguitar
After a quick search on eBay, I found the perfect cigar box, a Corona Premier solid wood box.
Watch me turn this simple box into an Electro / Acoustic three-string guitar.

I can't promise you expert playing once it is finished but it will be fun to give it a go. Then when we are out traveling again I will be able to practice around the evening campfires.
Please do leave a comment and let me know what you thought of this build and if you want any further information please do ask and I'll do my very best to help you.
Thanks very much for watching and hope you are all well and safe.
Best Wishes
Greg

Excellent! Careful you don’t get addicted. I made my first one a couple of years ago - 17 guitars later!! These have been from cigar boxes, wooden bowls and a couple of dog bowl resonators, all 3 or 4 stringers in an open tuning. I have also wound a few of my own electric pickups. The next two I have planned are from a nice biscuit tin and first attempt at a bass guitar! Looking forward to seeing yours finished.

@GregVirgoe 4 года назад

Wow that’s an impressive line up. Do you have any pictures or video online that I could look at? Any playing tips for me? 🎸🤩👍🏼

@rogerbullock9537 4 года назад

Greg Virgoe Thanks Greg. I tend only to build one when there is something that really gets my interest or something new that I haven’t done before. Unfortunately playing isn’t a strong point of mine, although I played various instruments I my earlier years I haven’t really persevered with a cigar box guitar, something else I need to do!! I have put together a website for the guitars, more as a catalog for my benefit as anything else. Please take a look at - jurassiccoastguitars.jimdofree.com/ I hope the site is of interest, please let me know if there is anything you would like to ask. Roger

@pa_maj.MARTINI-van-MAN 4 года назад

I re-watched this Greg 🙂 Just a little suggestion. If you take a quarter of an inch off the bottom of the stock ( not all the way but similar to the top ) where it's in the box ( the long section you have resting on the inside back ) it would let the back of the box resonate a little more. Every little bit of extra acoustic's you can get out of such a small box is only really a benefit, well if you want more of an acoustic sound plus more volume when not connected to an amp. It may not need it and it's just a though. Looking forward to the next part 👍
