Workshop Series - "Hoodoo Spirit" sage green - 3 string cigar box guitar
Our simplest and most basic guitars, the "Workshop Series". Sage green crackle finish over veneered ply box with a hand painted "Hoodoo Spirit" design and 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, BlackwoodTek fretboard with white face and side dot markers, Van Gent jumbo frets and 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 with a final wax coat. 25 1/2 inch scale length. Zilpha nickel wound strings. Tuned G D G. Powerful rail humbucke pickup wired direct to a high quality Neutrik jack. Bronze finish open back "Sta Tite" pattern machine heads. Walnut fretwire bridge . Our most basic fretted guitar, but still with the classic Chickenbone John playability and quality..plus the extra kick of a rail humbucker pickup. 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.
