Custom Cigar Box Guitars and Ukuleles

We now know that Teddy can hold his own with the greats of the past. He played the cigar box guitar for about 8 hours straight. There was lots of interest in the sound and music he was playing. I still had a good time and will do something like this again.

We made a sale and so Teddy got some bells for his feet from his cut. He now has rythm. All he needs now is cymbals for his knees.

Whew, finished the 2 Ukuleles’ this morning. Had to install the strings on the way down.

Pictures of Teddy playing at our table. We should have charged $5.00 to stand and listen. Lots of interest and lots of people thinking about building their own. Not a lot of buyers. oh well…

Ok, we now have 5 guitars finished, 2 ukes in progress and 3 other cigar box guitars working.

Will I be done by tomorrow? Yikes…got to go get busy..

No pictures yet, but bridges are made. We used rosewood, slotted them for a bone nut and beveled the edges. They will look good.

Edit: The bridges are made. We slotted the rosewood, machined for thickness and then tapered the edges for a clean look. I still need to take a picture…
