Lazy B Cigar Box Guitars

This is a cigar box guitar that I made for a local artist here at the Jersey Shore, Mr. Ronnie Brandt.  Ronnie came to me with an idea to build a Jack Daniels Cigar Box Guitar. I told him about a JD box I had and he asked if I could build it to withstand gigging and incorporate a JD deed in the theme of the guitar. I had found the cigar box on EBay and it truly is one-of a-kind. It actually had cigars in it and the Jack Daniels logo on the top. I added a thru-neck made from mahogany with a oak fingerboard on top. The brass sound holes and corner braces really look great on this box. It has a peizo pickup mounted on the underside of the neck and a volume control on top. Its sounds very good plugged into a PA system.. Ronnie supplied me with a copy of his Jack Daniels deed that I reliced/aged and attached to the back. This really personalizes the guitar and also looks really cool. American singer - songwriter & entertainer, Ronnie Brandt is appearing live through out the United States.
