Hi, we have just completed a 6 string cigar box guitar. This guitar features a 5 way pick up selector switch for both the neck and bridge pickups and for acoustic sound a dual piezo pick up.
We have added a new video of a baritone cigar box ukulele at our YouTube page, click below to view and please share! This is the acoustic version, we will be adding a video/sound clip of the electric version shortly. It really sounds killer!
Just finishing up the latest guitar. This is a 6 string electric cigar box guitar for my son. This has telecaster hardware and Gibson scale length. Note the PRS inspired headstock.

Currently we are building 6 ukuleles. 4 of these are 20″ scale length baritones and 2 will be longer 23″ scale lengths.
I have received orders for 2 ukuleles and decided, “why not” and added to the build. The necks are roughed out, finger boards cut, mounting holes drilled and stain applied to the bottom of the boxes.
Here is an interesting build, an ancient lyre as made in the middle ages. This is a six string, chromatic tuned lyre. It sounds really good, rather like a harp.
