Repro vintage cigar box

Product Description

Plain box supplied with quality printed labels, perfect as a starting point for making your cigar box guitar.

All birch plywood, 3mm top and back, 9mm sides. Brassed hinges with a sprung clasp. These are a nice size and once built up provide really good acoustic resonance - they can make up into a surprisingly loud guitar.

The labels are re-prints of original American cigar box labels, so are pretty much the nearest you can get to the real thing. Litho-photo printed on satin finish 170gramme paper. The boxes come with a front label for gluing on and a sheet of edges which cut into 9 strips to cover all edges of the box.

Custom made in the UK to our specifications. Ideal for building any range of cigar box guitar from a simple piezo pickup to twin humbuckers. Great for painting, staining, woodburning or an applied paper decoration. 

Measurements: 290 x 200 x 60mm

We recommend making any cutouts and holes to the box before you apply the labels, and once the glue is dry, the openings can be cut out neatly with a sharp craft knife or scalpel. To glue the labels on we recommend Titebond Liquid Hide glue applied in a very thin layer with a roller. A thin layer of glue will help get the labels applied nice and flat with no wrinkle or air bubbles. Regular Titebond glue will also work OK, but you need to take extra care to make sure it is applied nice and thin. Take a look at our video for how to do it - we've already tested this out, made the mistakes and found the best method, so you can benefit from our experience.

Please note we are a small family business not Amazon, and that whilst we aim to pick, quality check and pack all orders within two working days, due to limited man power and time, orders may be delayed a little at busy times and weekends. Orders placed on Friday will not be packed until the following Monday to be sent out either on Monday or to be collected by our couriers on Tuesday. Please bear with us, we try to do our best!

Delivery times for orders are from the time of dispatch, not from the time of order placement. The time given for shipping is an estimate and not a guarantee.

For customers outside the UK

Please note that tax and duty may be charged in your country and requires payment before the goods are released to you. It is your responsibility to deal with this. Please note we have no control over the process. There is often a minimum value before tax and duty are charged and advise you to check the value at which tax and duty become due, to ensure that you are willing to pay these additional charges.

If you are ordering outside the UK please take note the currency in use is £ (pound sterling).


Please be aware that if you purchase a product using PayPal that contains a La Aroma de Cuba box (guitar, kit etc) due to the item having the word Cuba in there may be a delay with the payment going through the system as PayPal is an American company and so has to abide by USA laws, regardless of where the item is being shipped from and to.
