You'll definitely meet the devil at the crossroads when you start playing that thing. One question though, how do you get the cigars out now? :)

Great CBG! What scale length are you using? Did you put a pickup in the box of any sort?

Another winner Dave! It'd be great to hear one of these. I'll have to google it to see if there's some audios online. Thanks for letting us see it…

Thanks guys.
One of the guys at work asked me to make one about a year ago. I started gathering parts and pieces. One of the local firemen donated the box. Which is empty but still opens for future electronic installments. The traditional one has 3 strings. I was given 4, so i installed 4. I am not musically inclined. When i gave it to John this morning he informed me i stringed it backwards. Oops. So I told him to play it left handed. He also didn't want a sound hole or any electronics installed. He re-stringed it and it tuned up and sounded good to me. Better than i would expect. I had a blast making it. The worst part were the frets. It sounds better played with a glass slide. As far as the scale length. I found an acoustic and matched the layout of the frets. I tried.
