Workshop Series "I Went Down to the Crossroads" Red Crackle - 3 String Cigar Box Guitar

Our simplest and most basic guitars, the "Workshop Series". Dark Red crackle finish over veneered ply box with a hand painted "I Went Down to the Crossroads" design and distressed zinc plated fixing brackets. 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 through body reinforcement, oak fretboard with wood burned face and side dot markers, Van Gent medium frets and distressed machine screw nut. Our guitar necks are fully profiled by hand using traditional methods for great playability and comfortable in-the-hand feel. Finished in hand rubbed shellac, satin gunstock oil and with a final wax coat. 25 1/2 inch scale length. Zilpha nickel wound strings. Tuned G D G. Single coil pickup wired direct to a high quality Neutrik jack. Bronze open back "Sta Tite" pattern machine heads. Sapele fretwire bridge. Bronze 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 modest price, these are certainly not "wall hanger" guitars! 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.
