1930's Three-String Cigar Box GuitarIt's a 3 string, look closely at the headstock, one tuner is strait up from behind,and checkout the fretboard.View it full size and get your feet wet. I bet this was a well playing instrument. I'd like to try to play it with light gauge strings now!To learn more about the history of thecigar box guitar visit the website https://reddogguitars.comThanks and keep cool, it's hot outside!

Yup. I see that third tuner now. I'd like to sample it too. I am trying to think what song it would like played. Gospel or old blues maybe. I think maybe 'Step It Up and Go.'
