"Hey There!
Can I set up Piezo pickups without pots and just use my amp for volume control? I want a real clean look on the front."

C. Baron 6 String Padron Cigar Box Guitar #112
Hi folks,
Here is the newest C.Baron 6 String Cigar Box Guitar. I have a blog post about the instrument here: https://cbaronguitars.com/2021/02/03/6-string-padron-cigar-box-guitar/
The tune here is "Buckdancer's Choice", a traditional tune with a lovely arrangement by Taj Mahal. The guitar is in standard tuning, with a capo at the second fret.

Oh..... Already a good day in my life and even better now. I think I have this song on a Guy Davis album. He is my living blues man fave. You sound just about as good and that is mighty high praise.
