Lace Cigar Box Electric Guitar - 4 String - Grizzly Bear
In them Lace™ Cigar Box Instruments, you'll find the same genuine charm and appeal that's been drawin' in creative musicians since Cigar Box Guitars first started makin' their sweet tunes across the USA back in the late 1800s. Crafted with care out yonder in Southern California, these instruments ain't nothin' short of what you'd expect from a seasoned luthier – finely made with top-notch hardware, guaranteeing playin' ease and a sound that's downright exceptional.
Adorned with some downright fetchin' custom artwork, the Lace Cigar Box Guitar dons a fresh sound, tailor-made for easy playin', ready to dish out Rock, Alternative, Country, Blues, or Jazz on either them three or four strings.
Now, here's the real kicker: the Matchbook™ pickup, a standard feature on all them 3 and 4 string models, is a genuine USA creation, the first-ever patented pickup made especially for the Cigar Box Guitar, using Lace’s™ Alumitone® "Current Driven" design. It's shaped like a real matchbook, with one magnet playin' the part of the "striker." This ingenious pickup, with its zero noise-floor, double coil power, and single coil clarity, lets you dial in tones from mean to clean, controlled by a push-pull volume pot.
Built tough from pressboard and mahogany veneer, coated in a satin gloss finish with chromed metal corners, these lightweight wonders are crafted to go the distance. The one-piece hard rock maple neck, the double adjustable truss rod, and the 20-fret maple fingerboard make for playin' that's downright exceptional.
The bridge, sportin' a steel plate design with a good 20mm of tweakin' room, guarantees that each string's singin' just right. The open gear machine heads, remindin' you of the good ol' vintage instruments, come with a 14:1 gear ratio. Add a precision-cut bone nut, and you got yourself tunin' that stays true, intonation that's spot-on, and sustain and harmonics that'll make your heart sing.
And if you're aimin' for the whole shebang, there's an optional handcrafted Lace Cigar Box Guitar Case (model CBC34), wrapped up in tweed with white piping, stitchin', an antique brass lockin' latch, and a soft handle. Open it up, and you'll find a plush red velvet interior, with supports for your neck and body, keepin' your instrument safe and sound, just like a riverboat gambler keeps his deck of cards.
So, there you have it, friend – Lace™ Cigar Box Instruments, where craftsmanship meets melody, just like a tall tale meets the Mississippi.
