This is a Copper Resonator Cigar Box Guitar, with a 25 ½" scale. The box was a Punch Chateaul, with the paper cover removed. The box has been reinforced all the way around on the inside, and it was stained Walnut. The neck is from MGB Guitars, it is maple with a rosewood fretboard. The neck was pre-made, so all I had to do is shape the head to the design that I wanted and then reseal it. The Copper Resonator was hand spun by Folk Artisan, Charles Atchison. The Humbucker Pickup is custom made by 12-Bar Blues Pickups (by Marshall Hammett), that has been lightly coated with copper paint. The box corners where handmade with copper sheeting. The bridge is made from maple, inserted into a hand made walnut biscuit. The “F-holes” were hand cut and screen mess was painted copper and glued in. And it was finished off with copper colored tuners/machine heads, volume & tone knobs painted copper, a copper colored trail string holder (National hinge) and copper strap buttons and jack nut. The nut is hand made from a bone type material.
