RE: My First Real Cigar Box Build

StewMac is great. It's my second time dealing with them and I was really happy with their quality both times. I bought some "economy tuners" for a restore project and they were awesome. I'll go back for all my parts now.

I have thought about building one from a kit as I don't trust myself to do it all from 'raw' wood, but I need to find the time.

For some reason, I thought I recalled you built an actual guitar from a kit a couple years back. Am I mistaken?

As far as the cracks, they could have happened in the box too. We had an import business a while back, and wood just cracks sometimes. Temperature and humidity differences can do that. You'd be surprised how unfinished wood warps and cracks as it cures naturally. I just kind of chalked it up to Oh well. The support was still there, so wood filler seemed sufficient.

I'll try and get some playing posted soon.

I've never built a guitar. I've just done some minor mods.

Wood can be fickle. It doesn't like change.

LMAO... Yes, that's one lesson I took from all this! #truth
