Karel I 'Regalia'

Posted by Daniele Muscetta 'Plank' Guitars on February 2, 2016 at 9:34am
This is made from an old cigar box from the Karel factory in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Not sure about the age of the box itself, but I guess it's from the '30's. I chose to have the pots for volume and tone on the bottom of the guitar, not to affect the original design/logo on the top of the old box.

    Thanks guys. Yeah I am pretty please with this one, it has a lot of character.

    But I have a lot to learn, did you see I started taking luthiery lessons too? https://www.facebook.com/plankguitars/posts/497815927073329

     This one really looks like it does the business Daniele... no bling, just cool.  :o)

    Very nice Daniele. She looks a lot more playable than my old Dutch girl ... a 1960's Egmond called Mariska  - my 1st guitar that sadly literally fell to bits in the late 80's :-)

    Yup.  Comments are right.  This is a classic.

    Beautiful all the way around. Simple historic and clean. Very good.
