Check out "Sweet Home," a commission build for a company in the San Francisco Bay Area. The 1976 AL license plate was rescued from an antique store in Mentone, Alabama and features a natural patina. The Drew Estate Cigar Box has been distressed and stained to carry the vintage look. The neck and headstock are crafted from walnut harvested in Northern Alabama and includes a maple inlay of their company logo. The 25” scale fretboard is made from maple and features hardwood wenge wood inlay. A dual-coil magnetic pickup is adorned with a custom “Bay City Pickups” maple cover. The chrome hardtail pickup aids in adjusting intonation. Tone and volume are controlled with matching chrome k***s. Come chat with me about your custom build on Saturdays at The Cigar Box Guitar Store in Studio 106 at Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment.

The iconic Les Paul Goldtop was my inspiration for this CBG. It was one of my favorites to build and to play. I took one last spin on it before packing it up to go to its new owner in Louisiana.

Got to experience J&G Mobile Cigar Lounge tonight at Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment. What a great party idea. Have the cigar party at home but keep the smoke out of the house!
