Final%20and%20Finished%20CBG%20electric%20named%20LONGHORN%20by%20M...

Howdy friends...
So straight up my Cigar Box Guitar is a Southwest experience...I'd like to explain...

From the Tail Piece to the Head Stock...it was a vision of the Blues...I may have over done it a little I was trying to keep a balance and I think I achieved that...The Gold features is not a representation of anything other than the richness of an older look and to have a bit of a wow effect for reflective reasons.

...

I have been asked about the Resonator aspect of the CBG and to be honest the function is mute. If it were a focus of the guitar it would be further back toward the Bridge and the Bridge would actually be incorporated in a Biscuit Bridge mounted directly on the Resonator cone. Here at most it might serve as a reflective passive devise but probably not much else but look cool!

Currently the Mandolin Bridge and the Nut will have to be modified to a lower plain...the string set would be ok if one was to play it like a lap slide guitar but that is not the design...it is designed to be worn as a traditional guitar would.

The name I have given my creation is " LONGHORN" a bit obvious if you look at the Peg Head from the design the rest of the guitar took on it's features.

Real Gibson Gold top hat volume knob and Gold plated Jack Plate...90% of the guitar came from the great CB Gitty CBG Guitar Box Company...and the remainder were trim pieces from McLendon Hardware.

The single Gold Lip Stick pickup was pre-wired from CB Gitty...a distinctive Danelectro-style gold "lipstick tube" single-coil guitar pickup.

The neck is Peruvian Walnut and was pre-fretted...the custom Head Stock design is all mine. Very cool I might add thank you very much!

I could go on and on but I won't...if you have any questions please ask, I'd be glad to elaborate further...
