All cigar box guitars have a 25.5 inch nut-to-bridge measurement, incorporating 21 frets.
Please keep in mind that all guitars are created from recycled cigar boxes, so there may be handling-induced blemishes and flaws which are beyond my control.
(I don't charge extra for that road-worn look, unlike some major guitar manufacturers!)
We also carry custom soft-sided padded gig bags. Pictures to come.
Contact me for more information at winstonandfidel@shaw.ca.
Thank you!
