AGP #380 - ''La Aroma De Cuba''

AGP #380 - “La Aroma De Cuba”
3 String Fretless Baritone Cigar Box Guitar
Scale: 762mm/30inches
Strings:.050NW/.034NW/.024NW/
Tuned: D / A / d /
On the rare occasion I can find a decent size Box at a decent price, I do build an actual “Cigar Box Guitar”, picked up this lovely 280mm/11” x 170mm/6⅝” x 50mm/2” Box from a New Year’s sale by a local CBG parts supplier for $24.95Aud, which is cheap by Aussie standards.
The Neck is White Mahogany, the Fretboard is Western Red Cedar, both coated with Organoil Natural Wax & Polish and an 11.4k Dual Rail Humbucker is wired through Vol & Tone Pots to the Output Jack.

Comment by AGP # on March 13, 2020 at 9:17am: The Rugby League Footy Season has just started, and as usual, the Beer intake increases somewhat, 1 game Thu night, 2 games last night, and 3 games this arvo, which will test me out!, usually leave the Rum to the colder months of Winter, but still Warm, Wet and Humid up here at the moment! :-D

Comment by AGP # on March 12, 2020 at 9:46am: "Thanks UJ and James O", I totally agree, a lovely looking Cigar Box, I use the Australian Navy White Ensign as backdrop to get a better picture of the Timbers used etc., which some times can be hidden by the dark timber bench I prop them up on!, also the Flag also has a certain nostalgic meaning to me (and Bones!) :-)

Comment by AGP # on March 12, 2020 at 9:37am: "Thanks Bones", nothing better than the old White Ensign and a bit of Pirate Skull and Crossbones to remind us of what we both done in a former life! :-)

Comment by James O Lunsford on March 12, 2020 at 5:31am: That's a good looking Guitar AGP# fine job love that cigar box you used looks great

Comment by Uncle John on March 12, 2020 at 3:38am: Mr. Payton that is a colorful beauty and it sure looks nice against the back drop of the Australian flag.

Comment by Jeff 'Bones' Reilly on March 11, 2020 at 11:03pm: Oh I do love to see the skull n crossbones with the jack tar flag behind great touch .
