I have been working since last summer on a cigar box electric guitar, similar to this one on Instructables, but a Telecaster version. I successfully designed, printed, and assembled a three part neck with a truss rod hole. I finally just got around to assembling the electronics and cigar box body last weekend. Everything looked beautiful until I strung the first string… <head slap!> I must have mis-measured the bridge location, so the string hangs off the edge by about 1mm. I cannot simply move the bridge because I had already cut the hole for the pickup! Although I am disappointed, I am chalking this up to iteration in the design process. I have now decided to go all-in and 3D print the entire body! I was not happy with how the neck was secured to the box. So, back to the drawing board:
