Oops, I did it again. Added a piezo harness on this one for recordings. #cbgitty #guitar #cigarboxguitar #twang

Weekend projects. Parts of parts. Soon to be more than parts. #guitars #cigarboxguitar #cbgitty 4 instruments in progress and a potential systems of an instrument type...but more on that when I have a prototype.

Because I can not let glue dry...I moved to another project. This uses two #cbgitty kits, the amp and the psycho box, along with a large cigar box as the enclosure. It is better sounding than I imagined. Enclosures ftw.

And so we start down the madness trail of making a #cigarboxguitar #theorbo....or maybe #arclute...I need to see the tension capacity of the build. Next step, bracing.

I bought a holder so I can (learn how to) play my harmonica and my #CigarBoxGuitar at the same time. However, the cowboy pictured on the packaging apparently hasn't ordered a harmonica holder yet.
"More of a 'before' picture," says the wife...

Writing down the chords I've figured out so far for the theme to Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp, with my own odd tab system. Haven't figured out what all the chords are called yet, because I'm sounding it out by ear and then checking it against a poster of chords, and some of my chords aren't on the chart. #CigarBoxGuitar

Improvement to my #CigarBoxGuitar capo: substituted a vintage swizzle stick for the bolt. Less danger of damaging the fretboard, easier to attach the o-ring over that round nub. Sticks up a lot, but that's the fun of it. Will probably break, but I have dozens of thrifted swizzle sticks.

@tomwsmf Went to the hardware store, made a $4 capo from an o-ring and a bolt. Also bought a cork for closing sounding hole when playing electric. #CigarBoxGuitar
-
@tomwsmf Taught myself the opening chords to the Lancelot Link theme song on the schimpanse #CigarBoxGuitar
Also, found a 🔋 operated practice amp in CB's musical stuff (I think I thrifted it for her years ago) and was able to confirm the piezo⚡ 🛻 works. I could probably use it as a 🎙️ for my harmonica by pressing the harp against the guitar.

Bonsoir le fediverse. Je cherche des boites à cigares, en bois, pour les transformer en cigar box guitar. Si jamais quelqu'un près de Tours souhaite s'en séparer, merci de penser à moi.

@BigJackBrass My chord options for "Button Up Your Overcoat" on the #CigarBoxGuitar. It sounds great with your ukulele tab, but I haven't found the right fingering for the CBG yet.
-
What to do while waiting for the #nerdyharpa to clear customs? Revisit the idea of a #cigarboxguitar #hurdygurdy
The crank shaft and wheel are now housed in a nice thick wood cigar box. I'm using #cbgitty box as the sound board and possible bottom...still figuring the sonic realities of that.
The neck is going to be at least one hardwood one with ,maybe, a fretboard. The drones are going on the sides in a as yet to be determined layout.
Seat of your pants Ready Fire Aim? You betcha boy howdy

And just when I settle down to record a 4 string #cigarboxguitar remake of She Talks To Angels.....#Klingon tonal scales is back.
-
@tomwsmf I cut the bridge down to lower the action. So far, no buzzing. The German cop looks pretty upset about it, though. #cigarboxguitar
-
@tomwsmf Old belt plus cufflink equals #cigarboxguitar strap attachment for headstock. (I didn't like the way it balanced.)
#stereoscopic, for no good raisin atoll.

#Fretless. Before I fall fully into a microtonal fretboard build it probably makes sense to try something fretless to learn more about it. I was trying to figure out building an #oud but given the amount of #cbgitty parts I have now it is going to be more a 3 stringer. And hey, look whose face miraculously was revealed in the wood... #churchofthesubgenius #Bob #letGlueDry #cigarboxguitar
-
4 strings put on and tuned, for now, GDG*B. The kalimba is on and semi tuned. I want it deeper, maybe a second row. Overall it makes a great resonant sound but I still need to get the springs inside and possibly some sympathetic strings. More as it happeneds.
-
Building a 4 string resonator guitar....with a few builds under my belt I have picked up on the cupped hand sanding technique...and since the hand sanding is going to be the one playing it the finished build glides nicely. Power sander? Having just ate dinner I am the power sander.

I've been thinking about how to do a #cigarboxguitar style #hurdygurdy ...and in a rabbit hole of videos this came up....and that feeling of not being alone in the world ...that. So much that.
-
While I whiffed on getting the #goldenticket of a fully assembled #nerdygurdy yesterday, I scored a kit of the NG Linotte v2. Ive been watching build videos and going thru the build docs till it arrives. I am so not ready, but if not now when?
I also purchased a separated wheel and crank set because.... #CigarBoxGurdy . I am going to take what I learn building the Linotte and what I am learning building #cigarboxguitar s ....and throw in my ready fire aim methodology. What could go wrong?
-
I am slowly working up to the point on a couple of projects where I think they can be mashed up.
A #meshtastic node built into a guitar amp.
A #cigarboxguitar with an #internetinabox #IIAB node that streams what you are playing...as well as serving up your own curated bits of the internet.
A custom #cigarboxguitar with a vplayer screen https://vplayer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/videoPlayer.html playing ...whatever. Maybe the time has come to play the entirety of #DarkSideOfTheMoon on a #cbg while it shows #WizardOfOz??
-
#cigarboxguitar No amplification, cruddy phone mic. First sounds...and the first song from @ridetheory s favorite musical acts. A few fixes on the bridge and I think it's ready to pack.
There are spots of over eager chiseling and one gaf around the neck that requires me to get a better saw if I am going to persue making more guitars. All in all a fun build.Not a sponsor but all parts were gotten from #cbgitty including the custom lid.
-
Home stretch for the @ridetheory #cigarboxguitar . Letting the top dry overnight. Tested the electrics and noise was made. My glue work is still not great, I need to get out of the spackle mindset. Special note on the volume knob , a tribute to #nigeltufnel . Tomorrow on to touch ups, stringing, and some tunes. Then it's off to the post.
-
So the bridge that came with the #bass kit was not high enough. Shim as I might it still wouldn't clear the pickup beyond the 13th fret without getting wobbly. The fault is most likely in my novice kit building. But I found something tall enough and resilient enough...and that has a personal connection. Works a charm...no more buzzes and intonation is spot on.
-
The first few notes on my #cigarboxguitar ...rather #cigarboxbass I am almost finished building. It's a dark beast ..the thick gauge string put a hurt on my fingers. Now to button it up and test it amped. Also...fix the intonation.

And now we build a 3 string bass.

Get ready to crane your necks or turn off autorotate as you watch me do a live stream in which I play you a song and tell you all about WSMF Studios and our goal to overcome our anxiety with playing for an audience.

As I dive deeper into my #cigarboxguitar I am finding all manner of songs that fit its tone amazingly well. #pinkfloyd 's Fearless and #BillBragg 's Little Time Bomb are the two I am working on now. Now if I can only sing worth a damn...thank #bob and #LesPaul for multi track recording. #gdg #wsmfstudios

So Tuesday night last week I was rushed to the hospital with a life threatening #pulmonaryembolism. I was out of the hospital on Thursday afternoon, and by Saturday I was making a bad spending decision on a #cigarboxguitar at the farmers market. But it’ll be months before I’m riding my #motorcycle again (doctor’s orders!).
