'Flor de Tyne y Wear' - Fretted 3 sting CB Guitar by Charlie 'Silverspoon' Philp

'Flor de Tyne y Wear' - Fretted 3 sting CB Guitar by Charlie 'Silverspoon' Philp

My first attempt at a fretted 3 sting Cigarbox Guitar, with a recycled humbucker installed. The box is a wooden, halfway lid, by My Fathers Cigars and is part of the 'Flor de Las Antillas' range. I made a bridge from a spare piece of wood found in a Cigar Box, and cut the end off a bolt to allow it to fit.
