The Glitsch...Gretsch inspired Cigar Box Guitar
Always wanted to try a Gretsch style cigar box, and finally got round it. Started life as a wine gift box with 2 bottles of red inside....several weeks and several bottles later I kind of got the sort of thing I had in my head made. The hardest bit now is to remove the orange wood dye that has seemed to got it's self splattered on the majority of my househouse belongings!

Thanks for comments Jon. For the logos I used water slide decal paper for inkjet printers, and designed them on photoshop, the horseshoe one I just stumbled on the internet and customised it a bit.
The water-slide paper works really well, if you check out my resonator build in my photos I used the same paper on that and it actually gave the lettering burnt in look.

Love the artwork! Is that a water-decal or inlay or some other black magic? Thanks!
