Antique cigar box. Guitar is fretted and tuned DGB. Acoustic only at this time. Sound hole on player side. Maple neck. Sounds good, plays fair - I need to lower the saddle.
Love the box. This will likely be a keeper.

Thanks, Bjorn.  It is clear to me that what I like the box and guitar combinations that look like they could have been made 50 - 80 years ago. 

And I would never suggest stone age for you, Bjorn.  I remember you well as my sixth grade math teacher in 1961.  You gave me a C- and I still think I deserved a C.

A very nice and clean new-old git.I like the fretboard, reminds me of my job teaching math - among other good old things.(Stoneage you might suggest?)
