Used to run a grindcore - sludgecore label, in a doom sludge duo currently. And I build cigar box guitars. Going to have a blues punk thing going over the winter.

I still want a video of Neat Neat Neat or New Rose at least! LOL

Very cool.

The Coffin Dodger! A clean coffin, ready for its next occupant. Black woodwork with all brass hardware including the shotgun shells! Greg Henshaw

Nice, awesome job. Did you make the box, or did you find it?

I made the box, Pine, of course! The real hard part was cutting the odd angles and keeping it symmetrical. Greg

Turned out great...I agree about the angles. Almost like we have to create a special jig too make a lot of these. Mine is about 3.5" thick. the next one I wanna make it thinner. Help to cut weight down. I'd like ot get it at 2" total.

Red, white & blue DR's? What's it tuned to, and how's it sound???

Very clean & classy build. It's like the hot goth cousin of my latest one. Love the brass handles all around.

Its tuned to GDG at the moment, and when plugged in to a reasonable amp with a little distort, Great! See it at A & A Music, Congleton, UK. ( if you're in the country of course! ) 

When I go you can inter me in that

 J. V. 13 .....from Skeleton Key Guitars ....When Jason's not stalking fornicating teenagers,he's playing some campfire tunes on his very own cigar box guitar.Made from a Punch box an impaled with a blood soaked aluminum machete this 3 stringer just kills !!! Eye bolt tuners,1/2" bolt bridge,piezo pickup tucked under a hand drilled/ hammered stainless steel hockey mask resonator cover.It can be lonely at an abandoned summer camp, but he calls it home.If you listen,you can sometimes hear him in the early dusk strumming .... strumming .......   strumming .....
