I build cigar box guitars. Any one have any guesses as to how these will perform cutting through cigar box lids?

I used it to drill thin aluminum and it did a really good job. I would think cigar boxes should be fine.

Should work just fine. They are plastic that covers. You can always cut if needed.

Yeah I think there is a standard for the holes. They work well on my acoustic.

Hi John; sorry to hear about your problem. I suspect, that you have a humidor; with a larger capacity. In my humidor, with a capacity of 150 cigars; I have four of these and my humidity is between 68 and 70%. A second thought; was to ask, if you replaced the shipping caps with the perforated ones supplied. I have had guys ask, why I broke the seal on the caps. You have to, to put on the perforated caps. Moisture is supposed to pass through the tubes' body; but I suspect most of the moisture passes out, through the perforated caps. I don't know if my comments will help; but I sure hope they will. Let me know, if you can. George

I would be led to believe these should work, I would be sure to frame accordingly so you have no twisting when closing the lid as they do have some resistance upon lowering. Good Luck sounds like my type of project.....Bob .

I bought them for my ukulele, but they were much too firm. When I tried to bend one a bit it snapped in half. I've had a classical guitar, as well, the strings are definitely thicker than a ukulele's, I think that these MIGHT work. I also don't have very strong fingernails, I used to bite them and only stopped a few years ago. But, after trying it out, I would say to grow them out a bit and shape them into rounded points. Then try picking. Your nails should eventually get stronger, and the shape really helps. It's way better than using a pick, especially for Spanish guitar. Arpeggio is nearly impossible with a pick. Whatever you do, don't give up.

As long as the holes in the headstock are 10mm diameter, then they should work just fine!

No holes to grab (presume that is a moisture protection issue). I would go for standard U Haul or business boxes. Protect your LPs with covers.

Good afternoon, we have had some people in the past do this, and had great succses, however, if you were to do this, we would not be able to take any return. They are solid core, so if you chose to cut them, it SHOULD work. Thanks, Aaron

All Ive ever done is drop them into the satchel and one at the head stock , works great for my Taylor , does all the work for you. Never humidified the guitar first , thats why I buy the packs.

You could probably cut through them with a dremel or something similar; from what I recall they're too thick to cut with scissors.

If the metal shanks are relatively small and are made from a soft metal like copper, brass, or aluminum, I believe these will work. We use these for video installation work for flush cutting plastic wire ties and for electronic circuit board repair and manufacturing. These cut up to 18 to 20 gage copper without any damage to the cutting surfaces.

It will work. They are just smaller. You could cut the cardboard, but you don't have to

I did the same thing as Russell I built a seperate box. My acoustic was set up perfect and I didn't want to change anything. If you haven't bought it - I'd say spend some more money. It works - I certainly wouldn't ruin a nice guitar with this.

These will Easily cut through a coat hangar like butter. They have shorter handles so you don't get as much leverage. I use these to cut guitar strings. Super high carbon content seems almost like carbide for holding an edge. The steel for the cutting edges is the best.Super hard for cutting through guitar strings again and again. I have one hundred restrings , 600 nickel plated steels strings cut and these look like new and cut like new. 10/10 EXCELLENT

I have not used the knife as of yet but it looks like they would work. Hope this helps you.

You can definitely use them. I use them to cut pieces out of wine bottles to turn them into planters.
