AGP #380 - “La Aroma De Cuba”
3 String Fretless Baritone Cigar Box Guitar
Scale: 762mm/30inches
Strings:.050NW/.034NW/.024NW/
Tuned: D / A / d /
On the rare occasion I can find a decent size Box at a decent price, I do build an actual “Cigar Box Guitar”, picked up this lovely 280mm/11” x 170mm/6⅝” x 50mm/2” Box from a New Year’s sale by a local CBG parts supplier for $24.95Aud, which is cheap by Aussie standards.
The Neck is White Mahogany, the Fretboard is Western Red Cedar, both coated with Organoil Natural Wax & Polish and an 11.4k Dual Rail Humbucker is wired through Vol & Tone Pots to the Output Jack.

Might wait until I get a Box with a smaller bit of Art Work before I try the Dropped Sound Hole  :-D

"Thanks again Bones", I did entertain the idea of doing a dropped sound hole, ala Bones Reilly, but put it in the too hard basket!  :-D
