Title: Another Cigar Box guitar
Post by: lego4040 on April 07, 2014, 04:10:06 pm
Since I have successfully made a time machine out of a old tube Radio  :l2: I have been able to start another project between a full time job, side job and family. My Dad made the neck out of Aspen, Red Cedar and spruce I think for the fret board. All I need is to put bridge, strings and cut nut.

What's the tuning on these guitars?

Usually on 3 stringers I do DAD, CGC ETC. ON 4 stringers you can play around more with tunings but usually I make the first strings a bass drone kinda thing. So you can get that John Lee Hooker grove going. I also like the Seasick Steve Jive

These were empty but I used to get some nice Romeo and Juliet's, some Rocko and Indian head. I haven't had one in a while but I have two in humidor.
