I have been thinking about building a "Three String Cigar Box Style Guitar" and a 5-watt tube amp to go with it. The amp will be easy. I know how to build amps. The guitar, well, who knows how many times I will need to start over before that gets finished...lol

First, I had to build the miter box to cut the fingerboard fret slots.



Here is the first sample cut and fret put in place.



This is the neck blank with the fretboard being glued together.



I have in mind to make the fretboard flat as this is mostly for slide guitar. I will not know if that is a good idea until I try it.

Lots of details to work out. I will post more photos as things proceed.

Trev, if you see this post, what do you think about changing the 6SQ7 for a 6SL7? Also, I did not understand how they got the 310 volts from the 270-volt PT. I have not done this for a while.

“Amazing! I’ll be working with Jaco Pastorius, Charlie Parker, Art Tatum, and Buddy Rich, and you’re telling me it’s not that great of a gig?
