Workshop Series - Black - 3 String Cigar Box Guitar

Our simplest and most basic guitars, the "Workshop Series". Black stained finish over veneered ply box with aged zinc plated fixing brackets and barbed wire matching design. Derived from our highly successful "Make and Play" workshop guitars, these offer genuine playability and great tone at a bargain price. Yellow Poplar through neck with backstrap through body reinforcement, dark stained with a distressed finish. Eco friendly blackwood fretboard with hand painted barbed wire fretboard design and white side dots. Van Gent super jumbo frets and aged machine screw nut. Our guitar necks are fully profiled by hand using traditional methods for great playability and comfortable in-the-hand feel. Finished with hand-rubbed shellac, gunstock oil with a final wax coat buffed to a satin sheen. 25 1/2 inch scale length. Zilpha nickelwound hexcore strings. Tuned G D G. Single coil pickup wired direct to a high quality Neutrik jack. Quality open back bronze finish "Sta-Tite" pattern machine heads. Walnut fretwire bridge. Black strap buttons. Our most basic fretted guitar, but still with the classic Chickenbone John playability and quality. With over 2500 guitars to our credit, and despite the low price, these are certainly not "wall hanger" guitars! How can we do it at this price? Over ten years of experience making and playing cigar box guitars goes into these instruments, so our workshop is lean, mean and efficient, but our instruments are still full of soul and passion.
