Still working on the slotted headstock reso theme - this one is a four string it has Grover tuners, plastic binding and a Tobacco finish relic look... The spun cone and cover plate are from Frank at Republic...

Thanks Diane - You can hear it played in Keni Lee's video "the art of cigar box guitar" and on "little red rooster" (as well as one of Darren's fine builds). I used a Davidoff cigar box, stained it first and used spray paint to get the old sunburst look. I also used white and black binding (like you would find on an acoustic guitar). I wanted to make this instrument look old so it has a few scratches and dents here and there...
