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 !!

It has a Bone Nut, and Abalone fret markers. The Pickup is a hand wound Ted Crocker 4 String Pickup. Also has Volume and Tone Controls. Another one of a kind Guitar from Barefoot Boogie Guitars!

Black Beauty - 4 String Guitar
This is a very large Cigar Box, and makes a great Guitar. I have installed a hand wound Ted Crocker Pickup, and the electronics will have both Volume and Tone Controls. It has a Black Walnut Neck, and Rosewood Fretboard. The Tuners are Vintage Gibson Style Tuners with Mint Green Tuning Pegs.
It looks nearly done, but I've still got a lot of work to do.
Wish I could hold on to this one for a while, but it's a commission job, so finish and ship it is!

Vintage Boxes
Picked up a few vintage cigar boxes, and have been getting them ready. Have reseated the paper, and lacquered them to seal in everything. Should make some really cool instruments. The La Palina is a 1930 box, and will become a Uke with time. The Harvester is a 1940 box, and will make a nice Guitar or Uke.
New Builds Underway
These are 2 new builds I've been working on for a customer. We're going all out on these. The dark one is Black Walnut with a Rosewood Fretboard. The other is Maple with a Bobinga Fretboard. The headstock also has Bobinga and Walnut laminated together. Bone nuts, upgraded vintage tuners, etc. Stay tuned for more pics in the coming weeks!
