We want to be really straight with you about this value range of guitars - if you are expecting to receive a highly polished, beautifully finished guitar then you will be disappointed. These cigar box guitars are true to their origins as "folk" instruments, they have a "rustic', rough, unsophisticated feel and in order to keep the price as low as possible we do not spend lots of time on the finish.

 

Way back when people were making the first cigar box guitars they were quite literally a stick and a box with any wire that was available used for strings. We may have moved on a bit from those early days but this guitar is true to the original concept of  "A Stick and a Box".

 

Fretted & single coil pickup.  Romeo y Julieta Cigar Box Guitar

This is a special and rather unusual version of our basic model. The neck is made from a single piece of hardwood - cut from an unknown species of hardwood that someone brought into the workshop. It has an angled headstock and a walnut bridge. We have added frets and a single coil pickup with tone & volume pots. 

Comes with 3 Strings 42, 32 & 24 gauge - tune to GDG.

Made with genuine Romeo y Julieta Havana cigar box.
