Sweet Mist Tobacco CTG

Posted by Maddog on February 24, 2013 at 12:12pm

Sweet Mist Fine Cut Tobacco CTG (Cigar Tin Guitar). The tin was made for the Scotten-Dillon Tobacco Company of Detroit, Mich around the late 1800's to early 1900's. 18" scale, oak neck/heel/fretboard unibody, walnut fret dots, piezo under the bridge in the neckstock. I'm really pleased with the way this sounds amped up.

That tin is awesome looking. It's cool to give an artifact like this new life. I hope somone is still playing it 125 years from now.

Thanks Randy!

Thank You Gdawg! Dropping that cutting wheel on a high dollar 100+ year old tin is something else, you kind of just hold your breathe and hope it goes right. Measure twice and cut once is what my Father always said :-)

Awesome Maddog! I am in the middle of a build using a plug tobacco box from the 1890's. It makes you nervous cutting on something that old but it makes such a cool git!
