Product Description
This beautiful cigar box ukulele is one of C. B. Gitty's standard models, where multiple instruments are built to a standard design. Built in C. B. Gitty's workshop, located in the Seacoast region of New Hampshire, USA, these are great cigar box instruments - if you have been looking for a great-sounding, well-made cigar box ukulele that you can tune up and start playing right out of the box, then look no further!Features:Beautiful H. Upmann Belicoso Paper-covered Cigar Box; High-quality friction-style tuners; Shiny brass sound hole covers; Rosewood bridge with bone saddle; Embedded piezo pickup; Nylon stringsScale Length: 15"; Overall Length: 21 3/4"; Box Size: 8"W x 6 5/8" H x 3" D; Strings: 4; Tuning: gCEA; Fretted: Yes; Neck Wood: Hardwood with Rosewood Fretboard; Pickup Style: Disk Piezo*** WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE BUYING ONE OF OUR CIGAR BOX INSTRUMENTS ***Every instrument that bears the C. B. Gitty name is built to a minimum standard of quality and playability, but you need to know that cigar box guitars are for the most part primitive and primal instruments that bear little resemblance to the shiny mass-produced things you see hanging on the wall of a guitar store. Each one is a unique, hand-made creation, as much instrument as art. They may have some rough edges, some nicks and scuffs, some "interesting" intonations, high actions, a bit of twang or sitar-buzz on certain strings, etc. That is part of what the CBG is all about. There are builders out there who turn out high-end professional-grade cigar box instruments, and charge hundreds of dollars for them, and that is fine. You just need to know that these instruments are built with a different purpose in mind. If all of that sounds good to you, then great! If it makes your blood pressure shoot up and causes you to start muttering about "real" instruments and the finely honed traditions of luthiery... then you probably shouldn't buy one of these!
