RTP Black and White
$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.
My back ground of product development and design proved useful in growing the business. As I added new items to the line, I would build an instrument to show the product in use and take photos to add the item to the web site. Over time my inventory of ready to play cbgs grew prolifically. I have well over 100 instruments that need new homes. Welcome to MGB's RTP category where you can buy a one of a kind instrument built by me.
Black and White is a 3 string build using a Padron cigar box. This build featured our new Keys Easy Fretter fret board. The pickup cover and knobs are made with a composite material. This build features a Micro Pup pickup with a 500k harness.
Many of the RTP builds were included in the 144 Cigar Box Guitars book. A copy of the book is included with each RTP build. A free wall bracket is also included.
