Why Don't Your Cigar Box Guitars have Sound Holes?
It's simple: my pickups are so hot that the sound holes make the guitar feed back. Yes if you move back fromthe amp and turn it down it sounds fine, but for most people this is not an option. I've made several cigar box guitars with sound holes and they aren't really an louder with them as acoustic instruments than they are without them. They are perfect as they are for recording, just put the mic near where the sound hole would be for optimum tone and volume. You can experiment to find the best mic placement. You can also mic them when playing live venues or use an acoustic amplifier.
