Create the original sound of the blues with a Black Diamond Cigar Box Guitar

Made in the style of the original 3 string cigar box guitars from the turn of the 1800-1900's. All the 3 stringers are slide guitars - 4 string have regular frets. Choose from my stock of models or I can tailor one to your your own design.

Footnote: As all of the cigar boxes I use are secondhand, they may have marks or scuffs
here and there. I try to keep these to a minimum by the design I use for each guitar.
Each one is therefore unique!
