Cigar Box Guitar Old Timer - 3 - Three string guitar Slide and

Cigar box guitars are a lost art and an unique American tradition. From Muddy Waters to Lightin' Hopkin's, many of the early Blues musicians got their start by making and playing these homemade instruments.  Since the mid 1860's up to the early 1950's with Bo Diddly's Rock invasion, building your own homemade or cigar box guitar was quite common. Well before musical instrument mass production brought the cost down, people made their own guitar or stringed instrument out of different types of cigar boxes and scavenged or found wood. If you love Delta Blues finger picking or slide guitar, this is set up for both,  go from gritty blues to clear country and everything in between. This is an all handmade and homemade cigar box guitar. This guitar is the exact same as all my  other guitars I make in wood, but this is in the Blacked out antique theme. Photos don't do it justice, it looks old but it's not, it is absolutely smooth and satin to the touch and if you want to play Blues finger picking or Bottleneck Slide this guitar will give you a pure and authentic tone you've been after. This guitar can capture that early 1900's sound by even a beginning player, and a pro can record with a tone that can't be achieved on a factory made guitar.(Vox or Pignose Amp not included with guitar) All of my guitars sound and play the same as I make all my guitars the same way. The recipe I use to capture that old time Blues sound works for me so I do everything the same. I make the pickups the same,  the action and scale length, everything is the same in all my guitars. No matter if its a resonator, or a cigar box acoustic / electric guitar, I always make them the same.  Only the outside appearances and artwork look different,  but all my guitars are really the same inside and out. The pickup and art is all original by me and hand drawn freehand / etched deeply into the metal ( like a vintage shotgun or rifle) and was many hours of work alone, this is NOT computer made artNo CNC machines, No computer button pecking, or computer programs or routing machines. This is made the way it was in America's past. Homemade and Handmade, I don't use power tools because I am never in a hurry. I like to do it by hand with hand tools. I hope that this guitar speaks to you and you accept the time and effort I have put into it. You will cherish it for the remainder of your life, it will be next to your chair in the living room, it will be on the sofa or you'll play it in bed while watching TV everyday, it was made to be your most prized guitar! This is an everyday player, not just another guitar for your collection, you will play this guitar constantly. I can say its easily the coolest guitar you'll ever own ..Goggle Red Dog guitars.
