It seems that lately I have been getting a lot of people asking for custom cigar box guitars. This is a welcomed surprise!!! I guess I am surprised because no two cigar box instruments that I build sound the same or look the same. That, in a sense, makes them all custom right?? Well, not exactly.
When someone contacts me, I assume that they desire an instrument that speaks to them, something that makes it theirs. This can simply mean, they pick the box or the wood used to make the neck, or the type of electronics. It may also mean that they want input on the overall design, layout, etc. Or, they may want a conversation piece, such as a guitar themed after their favorite band, beverage or sports team.
No matter what you want, I take all requests and try my best to fill all orders. I already know from experience that a cigar box guitar will get you attention anywhere you go. Why not make it something really special??
