I built a guitar out of a Cigar box as well (Cuban - legal up here in the great white north)...I used a stew-mac rosewood fretboard and some other economy parts and put a tele neck pickup about where the middle pickup on a strat would be....now I'm looking for parts to make a Cigar box bass......I think the Cigar box way is a good way to start.....and if it doesn't turn out perfect it adds to the character of a folk-style instrument.......btw My cigar box sounds awesome in open G and is a 6 string....
