Cigar Boxes
We have a huge stock of new and vintage cigar boxes. Choosing the perfect cigar box for your guitar is like selecting the canvas for a masterpiece. The shape, size, and even the brand of the cigar box can significantly impact the overall tone and aesthetic of your instrument.
Necks, Fretboards and Inlays
The neck is the backbone of your cigar box guitar, and choosing the right one can significantly impact its playability and tone. Consider the number of frets to suit your musical range, the scale length, the finish you prefer for aesthetics and protection, and the type of wood for the neck and fretboard to influence the overall sound. Personalize your guitar further with intricate inlays or simple fret markers to match your style. With so many options to choose from, you can create a neck that's as unique as you are.
Electric or Acoustic
Whether you prefer the amplified versatility of an electric cigar box guitar or the natural warmth of an acoustic, the choice is yours. Electric guitars offer a wider range of tones thanks to different pickup options, such as humbuckers for a bold, full sound or single-coil pickups for a brighter, more articulate tone. Piezo pickups provide a unique acoustic-like sound when used on electric guitars. Acoustic cigar box guitars, on the other hand, feature soundholes that influence the instrument's volume and tone. Experiment with different numbers, sizes, and shapes of soundholes to find the perfect sound for your playing style.
Knobs, Switches and Hardware
Once you've chosen the body, neck, and pickups for your cigar box guitar, it's time to add the finishing touches: knobs, switches, and hardware. The type of knobs and switches you select will depend on the style of guitar you're building and your personal preferences. Don't forget about the hardware, including the bridge, tailpiece, tuning machines, and strap buttons, which can also contribute to the overall look and feel of your instrument.
