A 5 string slide guitar.Vintage plywood top in a swamp green nitro finish. Short scale marked fretless neck.

Piezo pickup and tele bridge pickup with master volume control.

Some exaples of the guitar shaped CBGGs.Built like a CBG with a through stick neck but with a guitar shaped body instead of a cigar box. The body shape and size is taken from an old Regal tenor guitar. These have a high action and are intended for slide playing.

These come with 3, 4 or 6 strings.

A built in pickup comes as standard.

 

And finally the cigar box sitar. Made for Pendle Poucher to use on a film soundtrack this is a one of a kind for sure.Four strings on the neck with a custom built buzz bridge with 6 sympathetic drone strings. Built in pickup with master volume control.Laminated body which would and should have had a crackle finish but time ran out.
