I always wanted to create a small cigar box guitar version of a 12-string guitar in order to get some cool Leadbelly sounds in my blues. This instrument is basically a 2-string type of cigar box guitar with doubled strings (double-coursed in octaves). I built a handful of these a few months ago and this is the last one left. I took it apart and electrified it with a piezo disc pickup. The demo videos below are older and only feature the acoustic sounds of this guitar. Imagine plugging this into a delay, chorus or other effects pedals.

This auction is for a 4-string, double-coursed and fretless (fret markers are woodburned on) slide cigar box guitar. The body is made from a Partagas. Please see the demo video below for a good idea of the capabilities of this instrument. Details:
