Box Guitars for Sale...

Finished another guitar this weekend. Ladies and gentlemen meet the "Preacher" model and it's for sale. I found this ceder Bible box at a local thrift store. It did not have a Bible in it just in case you are wondering. Neck is pine with an ebony stain. It has a pizeo disc pick up for the electronics. First song that seemed to leap out of this instrument was Robert Johnson's "If I Had Possession Over Judgment Day." 

As with my thrift store box finds there are some imperfections. This is second hand re purposed stuff. New things are available for purchase anywhere down town. 

The acoustic sound of this guitar is good, more guitar like than the cigar tin box which sounds banjo like and is not as loud acoustically.  The electric sound of this guitar is clean and a bit shrill with my home made amp. I did not try it through a tube amp which should improve things quite a bit with the possibility of adjustable bass and treble. The electric sound of the tin guitar is dirty slide guitar blues. You will need a small amp at a jam session playing these instruments.

I browsed at the pawn shop the other day and there was a whole rack of Asian made firewood priced from $39 to $99. Certainly some serviceable little guitars and I thought about buying one to part out and make a couple of box guitars from it. Not a lot of character to those guitars though. People bought them and did not play them from the looks of things. 

I am now offering some of my guitars for sale. If you want to sound like 10 miles North of West Memphis on a Sunday morning and you are in church with your Saturday night clothes on I have the guitars for you. A quick look at Ebay shows a standard cigar box lowest price buy it now $125 plus shipping. I'll sell this guitar and the Little Tom Cigar guitar $95 each including a slide and a finger pick to a local and throw in a free lesson. If I have to ship you pay and don't get the free lesson.  

Guitars are as is. They work well but have some imperfections due to re purposed materials. If you need better pictures I can email.
