My project over the last week or so. The tuners and piezo pickup are from Amazon, the rest was from Lowes.

Thank you! I used danish oil on the neck, but I'm afraid it might bleed out across the top from the edges of the sound holes. I don't want to use it on the entire box because I don't want to dampen the resonance.

Looks neat. I think another guy Arn maybe builds guitars too. Wish I could play, I'd buy one from a member.

Of course!



Actually, Stewmac has a fret calculator on their website.

Regarding the video, there are endless discussions of just intonation vs. equal temperament, just as there are those who argue that A should be 432.

Ya, I've heard some of those discussions. My regularly comments on some of the autoharp geeks and their 'discussions' about those two items.

I say, if it doesn't cost thousands of dollars, what's it matter if it is off by a few cents?

Shouldn't a cigar-box guitar, like most good blues instruments, be tuned to 420? (Well, somebody had to say it.)

Regarding the sound clip, I liked what I heard.

I built something like that once, ended up an expensive non-working mouse trap. Congrats, I appreciate ideas that work.
