Cigar Box Guitar Makers Tip #3

Cigar boxes are known for having great artwork on most of sides. The bottom of the box is the one exception to the rule. With some self adhesive felt, it's easy to dress up a cigar box and give it some added flair when it turns into a cigar box guitar...

TITLE


1. Place the cigar box on the back of the felt, flush the edges on two sides of the box. Draw a line on the backing and then cut the felt to size.


3. Carefully line up the felt and smoothly attach it to the back of the box.


2. Remove the backing.


4. Your box is now dressed up and ready to be turned into a cigar box guitar as normal.




Sure, it's a simple job. It looks nice. And, it doesn't effect the tone of the guitar at all. If anything, it makes it feel better.

Stay tuned,
