Lace Electric Cigar Box Guitar, Royalty, 3 String

Preserving the genuine appeal and timeless charm of Cigar Box Guitars that captured the hearts of musicians in the late 1800s across the United States, the Lace Cigar Box instruments embody a commitment to professional craftsmanship and superior hardware, resulting in remarkable playability and exceptional tone.

Crafted in Southern California, these visually captivating Lace Cigar Box Guitars feature custom artwork and deliver a fresh sound, specifically designed for easy playability across various musical genres, including Rock, Alternative, Country, Blues, and Jazz. Whether you opt for a three-string or four-string model, these instruments are built to cater to your musical preferences.

Included as a standard feature on all three and four-string variations, the Matchbook pickup is a patented design created exclusively for Cigar Box Guitars. Made in the USA, this innovative pickup, resembling an actual matchbook, incorporates a magnet as the "striker." With Lace's Alumitone "Current Driven" technology, the Matchbook pickup operates with zero noise-floor, providing the perfect blend of double coil power and single coil clarity. A push-pull volume pot allows you to achieve either a mean or clean tone, adding versatility to your playing.

Constructed from sturdy pressboard and adorned with a mahogany veneer, these instruments boast a satin gloss finish and chromed metal protective corners. Despite their cool and lightweight design, they are built to withstand the test of time. The one-piece hard rock maple neck, equipped with a double adjustable truss rod and a 20-fret maple fingerboard, ensures exceptional playability and comfort.

The steel plate bridge is a standout feature, offering 20mm of adjustability, allowing you to achieve perfect intonation for each string. The open-gear machine heads, reminiscent of classic vintage instruments, feature a 14:1 gear ratio, ensuring tuning stability. Complementing this, the precision-cut bone nut enhances accurate intonation and contributes to excellent sustain and harmonics.

To complete the package, you have the option to acquire the hand-crafted Lace Guitar Box Guitar Case (model CBC34). Made with lightweight materials, this case is covered in tweed, complemented by white piping accents and stitching. The antique brass locking latch and soft handle add a touch of elegance and functionality. Inside the case, you'll find a luxurious red velvet lining and dedicated neck and body supports, providing optimal protection for your precious instrument.
