Cigar Box Guitar Testing

Well as many have read MAVERIC777 and I have been working on Fretless Cigar Box Slide Guitars. Well I got mine working. It still needs a few things and I need to learn how to play slide lol but here is my first test of the beast. Recorded through my pod.

Cigar Box Guitar Test

I'm amazed at how good a tone it has - I was expecting it to sound a bit trebly and thin but it's really rich! Way to go!

How have you got it tuned?

Very nice. What kind of pickup?..was that one of the homemade ones? Have you played slide before because that was real good!

Thanks for checking it out guys. I have it tuned to an "A" chord. A,E,A. I used Ernie Ball Super Slinky strings. The gauges on the guitar are 42, 32, 24. I used the heaviest of the strings in the set to try and give it a better bass sound and less of the trebly sound these usually have. It's still trebly but the pod helps that. The pickup is a Radio Shack Piezo Transducer part # 273-073A crazy glued to the lid and wired straight to the plug. I didn't put holes in my cigar box either. I figured this might give it more bass since my cigar box is on the small side and if I wanted I could add them later.

FingerSpasm I'm glad you liked the playing but I was just bangin on the thing trying to put notes together that sounded like they belonged because I have no clue how to play slide. I never played a fretless guitar either so that takes some getting use to.
