How to build a 3 string Cigar Box Guitar - Make a Multi Wood Heel for Your Guitar Neck.

cowboy coffee....stuff so strong it makes your spoon stand up! :D

Thanks for the tips, Michael! I’m in the market for a belt sander and noticed you have a Wen. Do you recommend it? What model is it?

I see you using a lot of 1/4” thick walnut. Where do you get that? Makes for a classy look. Is it hard to hand cut fret slots?

Hey Michael, your one creative dude!

Very clever Michael, Thanks for showing us. Best Wishes.

Always love your videos Michael.
1)floor coffee, no good
2)Save scraps

Michael . What kind of finish do you use on the neck and fretboard . Do you finish the wood with the frets in . thanks much.

Michael, I've got a problem when using any finger to bar, its never a clean sound but if I put a slide on my finger the sound seems a much better sound, any ideas Michael? Its a 3 string CBG. I've always found it difficult to bar when using any of my 6 string guitars. Thank you Michael.

Hi Michael, I measured the distance from the fret-board to the strings & they seem ok****1st fret .2mm****17th fret .7mm & the bridge height .10mm. & If I put a capo on the the sound is great. I don't know Michael but I think it must be me. Thank you Michael, God Bless.

Like candy sticks. Be safe Michael. Stay dry too! Thanks

Sprinkle a few grains of salt into the glue on both ends and in the middle before clamping. It will stop the pieces from skating. The salt desolves harmlessly into the glue, just don't overdo it...a few grains.

I’m loving all this Michael just finished my first cbg thanks to your help and now onto the next one, ( multi wood ) I’m hooked thanks again🤦‍♂️

Can you show me how you put that neck and heel in to that small of a box
Thank you

Excellent stuff, Michael!
About how much overlap do you like to have between the neck and the heel? I have some 2ft necks coming and would like to have a piece inside the box for maximum strength. Thanks!

So, I’ve been watching for a couple months then this relic shows up in my “recommended “. Now that little ditty is a knee slapper. How about a tutorial on it? Cheers, mate!

Hello Michael. I have some questions please : 1. How much long for the overlap beetween neck and heel wood ? 2. how much long the heel peep out from the box ? 3. how much long the neck going inside the box ? 4. The neck you mention is about 3/4" or 1.9 cm thick .... is that before adding fretboard ? 5. What is the fretboard thickness ? Thanks Michael.

Thanks Michael, I’m heading for the shop and make a couple of these multi-wood heels for my next CBG projects. 😊

I can't wait to see how these two necks look when their finished. I will post another video, to show them off :)
