Cuban Seal 3 String CBG

Antique Cuban Seal cigar box was given to me a few years back by Justin and Nikki on one of thier visits here to Nebraska and I've been saving it for a build for myself, the box just has so much Mojo to it!Maple neck/heel/fretboard, walnut fret dots, walnut headstock wings, old hinge tailpiece, maple saddle w/old bolt bridge, onyx nut, pearloid open gear tuners, maple 3 string pickup, vintage strap buttons, 19" fretted scale. Tuned GDG.Thanks so much Justin and Nikki! It turned into a nice lil" picker for sure.

  • That would be GOOD backup.

  • Thanks John! I'll back ya up with my 10 gauge just in case ;-)

  • Thanks Jim! The neck is actually fairly thin 1 3/8" wide and just 11/16" thick at the nut, the box is a smaller size so I went with a shorter scale to compensate and proportion it a little better. I think the pic and the angle of the pic make it seem thicker as it looks thicker to me in the photo than in real life. 

  • Me too, Jim.  I want to be on the airliner playing this one when the terrorists attack with box knives.   Hopefully 110 pound terrorists.  I will beat them senseless then go back to playing 'Bad to the Bone.'

  • I really like the nice thick neck~
