AGP #407 - “Cohiba”
3 String Fretless Guitar
Scale: 635mm/25 inches

Every now and then I do build an actual “Cigar Box Guitar”, the Cohiba Box is 9¾” x 7” x 2”, the Neck is Grey Ironbark (Eucalyptus paniculata), the Fretboard, Headstock Wings, Nut & Rear String Retainer Block is Queensland Walnut (Endiandra palmerstonii), the Bridge is an Ebony Piano Key, and a Single Coil, 7k Tele Type Neck Pickup, is wired through Vol & Tone, to the Output Jack. :-)

"Thanks Bob", for the Big Tick on the Headstock, I should use this one more often! :-)
Big tick in the box for the headstock!
"Thanks Jock", I don't build them because I think I need more Guitars, but it's what makes me happy in my retirement, locked away in my work shed building CBG's, while listening to lots of my favourite Music. :-)
"Thanks UJ", a recent Cohiba build posted by Southern Ray, prompted me to do something with this Cohiba Box, I purchased some time back. :-)
Don't use this design headstock a lot Dave, mainly when I have an odd set of Machine Heads, as was the case here!, or when some cheap 6R or 6L Tuners appear on Ebay. :-)
