Vintage Boxes find a new life!

Just finished up this 4 string guitar and Uke made from old vintage Cigar boxes.  Love the colors on these.  These are on their way to California (Commission work).

Cigar Box Guitars #82 & 83

Finished these up today.  Will do some tweaking on the string height over the next couple of weeks, and then they will hit my ETSY site for sale!

Tuna Can Reso Guitar

Somewhere underneath all those clamps is a Tuna Can Resonator guitar.  I'll probably need to make some Tuna Salad tomorrow to get the can!

Tuna Can Resonator Guitar

Have been working on this Tuna Can Resonator, and wanted to figure out how to attach the neck without visible screws on the front or back.  Came up with this idea, similar to a truss rod cover, except it's on the body instead.  Underneath will be 3 screws securing the neck to an oak block in the body.  Should be functional and good looking I think!

Muriel Cigar Box Uke

Just finished up #81 today, a Tenor Uke made from an Antique Muriel Senators Cigar Box.  It has an Oak Neck and Bobinga Fretboard.  The nut and bridge pieces are made of bone.  The fret markers are abalone.  Bridge has a piezo rod in it for hooking up to an amp!  Should hit my Etsy site next weekend.

Time to get back to these two Ukes I started awhile ago.  Got busy with other things.  They are old vintage boxes that I've been working on.  Necks (Bobinga Fret boards) are getting close as well.  I've got some Rod Piezo's on order which will find a home in these.

Hub Cap Guitar

Finally finished, and strung it up.  What a unique guitar!  Check out my Facebook page and ETSY site for Barefoot Boogie Guitars for more info.
