Electric Solid Body 3-String Cigar Box Style Guitar - 25" Scale Length Single-Cutaway.
Electric Solid Body 3-String Cigar Box Style Guitar - 25" Scale Length Single-Cutaway.
Ash Top over a 3-Piece Sapele Mahogany Body. With a 5-Piece Maple/Walnut Neck. Satin Lacquered Body with Satin Gloss Top.
This solid body electric instrument was handcrafted from quality materials and components in Nidderdale, North Yorkshire.
The combination of an ash/mahogany body and maple neck balanced with 2 hot HiGuitarsUK pickups helps create a great sounding instrument. While an additional coil-tap switch, which taps both pickups, helps to create a broad pallet of tones. The vintage influenced styling, satin gloss & satin finish and quality chromed hardware combine to give a classy vintage yet modern vibe.
This instrument has an all steel adjustable bridge with high mass stainless steel saddles with a bridge string spacing of 23.5mm G to G.
The scale length is 25" (635mm) which will work well with the 3rd, 4th & 5th strings from a set of D'Addario EXL115 electric guitar 11s, tuned G-D-G. The 18(plain), 28(wound) and 38(wound) gauges used are also easily individually purchasable online via eBay, etc.
