RTP Wings $300.00

I saw my first cigar box guitar in 2009 and decided to build one. I do not play and knew nothing about building stringed instruments. It was a fun exercise and I was pretty happy with the results. I was quickly surprised at the positive response I received from friends and family. One thing led to another and eventually I started a little parts business focused on the needs of CBG builders. Over time my inventory of ready to play CBGs grew substantially. I have well over 100 instruments that need new homes. Welcome to MGB's RTP (Ready to Play) category where you can buy a one of a kind instrument built by me. Wings is a 3 string build using an MGB Ready box. This build featured our new Keys Neck. This build features a Micro Pup pickup with a 250k harness. Includes a wall bracket and free shipping.
