I wanna do some cigar box guitars stuff


I'm getting withdrawal symptoms but still too busy with jobs around the house. I do have another project brewing up. It's a smokey type amp, going to put it in an old tin plated turpentine can. I'll cut a hole in the front for a small speaker but the real novelty of it is - I'm intending making the screw-on lid, the actual volume control. I'll drill a couple of holes in the top and fit an on/off switch and power-on LED. Probably put the jack socket in the side at the bottom so the guitar lead doesn't pull it over when connected. Should be really cool if it turns out as I see it in my head. I've already made the guts of a smokey amp and it seems to work fine. Just need to get busy.




Also in progress is a small booklet "How to build a ciagbox amplifier". It will be on sale eventually but I need to fine tune it and test drive it first. I'll post here when it's available.
