Workshop Series - "Born Under a Bad Sign" Cream - 3 String Cigar Box Guitar

A light cream distressed crackle paint finish over veneered ply box with zinc plated fixing brackets and chrome hardware with a hand painted red and black "Born Under a Bad Sign" design. Yellow poplar through neck with "backstrap" thru' body reinforcement, light stained finish with a blackwood fretboard and Van Gent nickel silver fretwire. White dot face position markers and side dots with a 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 shellac, hand rubbed gunstock oil and a final wax coat burnished to a satin lustre. 25 1/2 inch scale length. Ziplha nickelwound strings. Tuned G, D, G Strat-style single coil pickup to a quality Neutrik jack. Super quality chrome open back "Sta-Tite" machine heads . Walnut fretwire bridge. Chrome strap buttons. 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.
