So I'm working on four builds this week--all for friends and family--when it came to me that I should be recording the date and build number on the CBG's.  I've created labels on my printer that has the following information...

Eric's Cigar Box Guitars

Build Date:_______

Build Number:_______

I used Avery address labels for the tags, and I plan on applying them to the inside of the box for historical purposes.  While I was at it, I also printed more labels for the back of the box, which has the standard tuning and scale length...

Eric's Cigar Box Guitars

Tuning: G, D, G

25" Scale (from Nut to Bridge)

I figured it would be a good reference for anyone who needed to change strings or adjust the bridge.

Has anyone here also done much the same for their builds.  If so what was your solution?

Personally, I want to be an anomaly, I don't put anything on mine, they didn't when they were made in the past and to me that's part of the mystique of the CBG.
