Mr. Relic carved the neck and headstock out of oak. The saddle is a part of a door hinge and the sound holes were new grommets that were "aged" with heat and linseed oil. Two pietzos inside make it electric.

Cigar Box Guitar
This White Owl cigar box was hiding on a high shelf at one of our favorite shops. Mr. Relic has an increasingly sever addiction to stringed instruments and had decided to try to convert a beloved cigar box of his Gramp's in to a cigar box guitar. Mrs. Relic spotted this box and they decided it was better to do a test run on a less sentimental piece before cutting holes into Gramp's.
Mr. Relic carved the neck and headstock out of oak. The saddle is a part of a door hinge and the sound holes were new grommets that were "aged" with heat and linseed oil. Two pietzos inside make it electric.
[acq. 4/8/12 - $8, guitar completed 5/8/12]
