I love making guitars from Cigar Boxes, and thought it would be fun to create a blog for those interested in tracking my progress, and see what's going on in the shop. If you are a potential customer, feel free to email me with any questions. Enjoy Life Through Music !!

Unique Tail Piece
The business end of this Uke is pretty unique. I used ball ends from old guitar strings as string ferrules, and inlayed them in a small piece of Black Walnut, and tied it down with a few Brass Screws. I like the clean look of this... may use it again in the future!
Business Cards
Not sure if Business Cards make you "legit", but a little Marketing seems like the right thing to do to take this to the next level ... slow and steady ...
2 New Ukes out of the Shop!
Finished up 2 Ukes this weekend (16" Tenor Scale). They both have Piezo pickups inside for amplification. The Dark Perdomo took a bit more work, because I routed the strings inside the Uke. It still opens, which is pretty cool. I'll let these sit for a week and let everything settle in. Then I'll makes the final "tweaks", and post them on ETSY for Sale.
Off to North Carolina next weekend for a week of R&R on the Outer Banks (YEAH!), so it will be a few weeks before I post again.
I'm thinking of trying a metal Banjo type instrument if I can find the right pot, pan, or hubcap. Should be interesting!
Stay tuned!
