Cigar Box Guitar, Three String, Acoustic Electric, Just Intonation

  

E3 Strings #144 CB A/E. Cigar Box Garcia and Garcia.

Fret board Home Depot Yard Stick. Why is E3Strings and what are we trying to do, I was an Automotive Technician for 40 years, fixing things is what I did, like puzzles. I have been playing music for the last 10 years starting with harmonicas, I got in to tuning and rebuilding them, especially pre-WWII harps.

I wanted to make it easy to clean and repair them. Then I got into playing the Mandolin and Guitar, and blues and blue grass. I got turned on to Cigar Box 3String guitars and I was hooked, the sound was awesome and they were easy to play and complimented my harps. I wanted to improve them, there was wood and metal in the scrap where I worked so I had most of my material. Each time I would build a Guitar I wanted to optimize it; I learned on the shoulders of U tube giants.

The result being, using thin guitar hardwood to make the boxes, hardwood neck sand fret boards, and maximizing acoustic sound coming from my guitars. There has been many twists and turns in the learning curve, but the result is marvelous.

All built with the care and quality.
