Cigar Box Guitar

I made this cigar box guitar for my brother for christmas. The scale length is 23 inches. The fretboard radius is 14 inches. It has Classic Guitar strings on it (DGBE). So its like a baritone Ukulele.

Nice build. Question, when strings need to be replaced, does the bottom flange of the hinge get unscrewed, strings run through, then screws tightened up again? Just curious how this would go. I have been thinking of using a hinge in this manner but wasn't sure how to go about it. ThX for sharing the build.

you just unscrew the three screws in the back and flip the hinge, run new strings through then put the three screws back in. i made the hinge stick out slightly to make room underneath for the ends of the strings.
