Zoomy
$60.00
Build your own 50s retro cbg using the new Zoomy box from MGB. Easy to assemble and totally customizable. Can be used for 3,4 or 6 string guitars. Made primarily for use with bolt on necks and works perfectly with MGB Easy Necks, Super Necks and the Super Sixer Neck. Since the box is not symmetrical around the center line, it is recommended that you use a neck template to help locate the bridge. Can also be used for a U Bass.
The top can be easily modified to accept your favorite pickup.
There is no limit on what can be used on the top surface; paint, stain, laminates, veneers or just about any type of art you like. Amazon sells a wide selection of colorful pick guard materials that are the perfect size. We suggest using contact cement to secure the laminate.
Secure the top plate to the body ring using the screws provided. Make sure the body is pressed into the ring well resting on the flange. Install the neck and electronics then secure the back plate in place.
Kit includes:
Machined and ready to finish top and bottom pine plates.
Predrilled oak neck bolt block.
Formed and predrilled aluminum body ring.
Hardware and extra long 1/4 20 hanger bolt included.

RTP Black and White
$300.00
I saw my first cigar box guitar in 2009 and decided to build one. I do not play and knew nothing about building stringed instruments. It was a fun exercise and I was pretty happy with the results. I was quickly surprised at the positive response I received from friends and family. One thing led to another and eventually I started a little parts business focused on the needs of cbg builders.
My back ground of product development and design proved useful in growing the business. As I added new items to the line, I would build an instrument to show the product in use and take photos to add the item to the web site. Over time my inventory of ready to play cbgs grew prolifically. I have well over 100 instruments that need new homes. Welcome to MGB's RTP category where you can buy a one of a kind instrument built by me.
Black and White is a 3 string build using a Padron cigar box. This build featured our new Keys Easy Fretter fret board. The pickup cover and knobs are made with a composite material. This build features a Micro Pup pickup with a 500k harness.
Many of the RTP builds were included in the 144 Cigar Box Guitars book. A copy of the book is included with each RTP build. A free wall bracket is also included.
