Cuban Seal 3 String CBG

Posted by Maddog on May 12, 2016 at 12:28pm
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.

    Thanks Dave! It's a little smaller box than I would normally build with but I just went with a little shorter scale to compensate and make it look right. If memory serves Justin and Nikki said they found this box in Saint Joseph, Missouri at the Jesse James Antique Mall on thier way here to stay with us on a visit a few years back. The box had some special meaning to me so it's a keeper :-)
