Workshop Series - Dark Oak 3 String Cigar Box Guitar

Our simplest and most basic guitars, the "Workshop Series". Distressed dark oak stain over a veneered ply box with a cigar box paper covered scratch plate. 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 a through body reinforcement, medium oak stained. 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 hexcore strings. Tuned G D G. Single coil pickup wired direct to a high quality Neutrik jack. Open back bronze "Sta-Tite" pattern machine heads. Black strap buttons. Walnut fretwire bridge. A simple frettless 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.
