Battalion 3-stringer

This was a custom build for a birthday present...lucky guy. This is a cool rough cut box that I made into a 3 string acoustic. The fret markers were stained with a dark stain and then the neck was sanded to re-stain it with a lighter color. The fret markers are branded screw heads. This one has a nice tone and is pretty loud too.

Gurkha w/lipstick pick-up

I built this guitar for myself. It is a rough-cut Gurkha box, the sound holes are beneath the gold placard and it has a lipstick pick-up for amplification as well as volume and tone controls. The oak fret board has thin fretwire to give it a old style feel. I think this is as far as I would want to go with a cigar box guitar because it should still have a home made sound and feel to it. You gotta keep it a little bit raw to truly give it a bluesy sound.

This guitar is one of four that I built as part of a 'dia de los muertos' art exhibit that I was invited to show my work at. It was at the City of Anaheim community center. These were very well received along with us playing live at the event. It was a great show.
