Hello CigarBoxNation People,

this is my first discussion on CigarBoxNation.. thank you for this community being so great and Hello :)

My name is Greg and I'm a passionate musician from Germany. I read a lot of articles on this page, starting to build my first Cigar Box Guitar.

So far, so good.. right now I got the neck prepared so the next step would be to cut the holes for the Humbucker and get a plan about how to solder them together.

The problem actually is, I found some plans but not the exact combination, that I need.. so that's why I'm not sure about it. I would really appreciate if you could tell me how to solder it, and it would be superb if you also could tell me why (so that I know why I'm doin' it). :)

Enclosed I give you some pictures of the components I use and a little graphic, so we can get throug this.

So, the different parts are:

I would like to work with only one Output at all (this were pre-solder parts). The 3 way switch should be for the humbuckers only [or do you got another opinion on this? At all it's a cigar box, everything is possible ;) ]

The both Piezos should be connected to the output of the Humbucker and i would like to control them over the Poti 3 (Volume) and Poti 4 (Tone).

So that I can use the Humbucker with the 3 way switch and if I like, in addition, I can put some volume for the both Piezos.

Thank you in advance folks.

At last a picture of the neck I'm talking 'bout:

Cheers Greg

Thanks people, the humbucker and piezo work great! It has a unique lovely sound! Everything worked pretty good with the diods! I will upload a video if the next problem is solved.

Now I got the problem that the guitar isn't in tune, as I play it as a bottleneck, all good.. but the frets seem to be off. At all it's length is 60 cm and the 12 fret is on 30 cm, the frets are all good. I open a new discussion for this topic. 

The Humbucker + Piezo Challenge is solved :D
