all
Wood
Cigar Box with a thinner wood top to deliver that special tone. We do
not use decorated craft boxes or cardboard as a substitute for the real thing!
This kit comes
with a box that once held cigars. The cigar box may have minor dings and
scratches, and also may have labels left over from its former life. Our neck is
unfretted with 17 fret positions for a 24¾” scale length. Our neck is already
pre slotted for your fret wire! You have the choice – do you want fretted,
fretless or slide? Up to you! Slots are .023” if you choose to fret it
yourself.
What
is Required of You?
Just your imagination, a little time,
some basic hand tools, glue and paint / stain of your choice. You will also
need some basic knowledge and a few mechanical skills. The final design and
embellishments are left totally up to you so you can make it your own.
We do not provide plans for the kits because there are so many ways to finish
the guitars. We let you work within your imagination to design the guitar you
want!
This Cigar Box Guitar Kit is inexpensive, great for first-timers as well as pro
builders, and a wonderful project for you to craft a cool instrument. No matter
what your skill level, this guitar will be a compliment to your playing style;
country, rock, blues, or pop.
This
is not a finished product; it is a kit that requires assembly.

For your information:
Lighter gauge strings are generally easier to play, easier bending of notes but
these strings break more easily, have less volume and prone to cause buzzing,
especially on guitars with low action.
Heavier gauge strings
are generally harder to play, require more finger pressure to fret and bend
notes but they produce more volume and sustain notes longer.
We reserve the right,
without prior notice, to make minor changes for quality.
NOTE: Our Catoctin Mountain Music Cigar Box Guitar Kits are hand-made so there
may be blemishes. That’s part of the charm and character of a Cigar Box Guitar.
If you require any further information or have any issues with setting up your
guitar, drop us a line. We’ll be happy to help.
