This was a commissioned build where the customer mailed me the cigar box he wanted used. This 4 string cigar box guitar features an oak neck with a Strat style headstock, 25 inch scale, Padauk fretboard, fretted with medium nickel frets, Mother of Pearl fret position marker, chrome tailpiece, chrome lipstick pickup, chrome sound screens, chrome volume and tone knobs, and the bridge is a combination of Padauk, Bone and Rosewood.

Thanks Charles

Think I might have to use one of these on the next build. So cheap too! ;-)

Kane, It's a 6 string Trapeze, here is a link to the place where I buy them:

Ok, more like a jazz box tailpiece:

Looks like a mando tailpiece, Kane. The strings mount through the back of the crosspiece.

Tell me more about that beautiful tailpiece! How do the strings mount?
