Red Barn" Howlin' Hubcap Resonator Cigar Box Guitar Kit - Handcrafted 4-String Acoustic Guitar Made in USA - Perfect for Blues, Folk & DIY Music Projects

Beautiful, custom-printed guitar kits inspired by old American barns painted with chewing tobacco billboards - what could be better? This is our first kit series designed by "King of the Cigar Box Guitar" Shane Speal. They are easy to assemble and ready to be stained (neck), painted, woodburned, decorated and customized. No fretting installation needed. Each kit comes with a fully fretted neck. Choose either the 3-string or 4-string version of the Resophonic "Hubcap Howler" version of our Red Barn series - featuring a C. B. Gitty Hubcap resonator cone for old timey Dobro tone and classic F holes. Designed and with most of the parts made right here at the C. B. Gitty workshops in Gonic, New Hampshire, these amazing-sounding guitars can be built at your dining room table with just a few basic tools. No advanced woodworking is required (no sawing, routing, etc) - just some basic clamping, gluing, light drilling and screw insertion is all it takes to build your very own handmade instrument. This kit comes with a set of strings meant for tuning to either Open G "GDG" (3-string) or "GDGB" (4-string), which have become the de facto tuning standards forcigar box guitars. This kit also comes with a full fretboard already attached to the neck, making assembly easy. The detailed how-to guide not only shows you how to assemble the kit, but also includes some basic how-to-play information as well, to help get you picking once the build is done. We also throw in a full-color copy of one of Ben Gitty's Essential Chords Posters (3-string or 4-string version, depending on which kit you order) with every kit, which is a wealth of information to help get you strumming along with popular songs.
