Handcrafted Cigar Box Guitars
BUILT FOR
THE BLUES.
Crafted with passion and inspired by the legendary Blues Highway 61 — every guitar a one-of-a-kind instrument with its own voice, its own soul, its own story.
The Story
THE BLUES
HIGHWAY
Highway 61 passes through the heart of America's Blues country — from New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Natchez and Vicksburg, through Memphis, St Louis and Iowa, all the way to Minnesota.
This iconic route weaves through the Mississippi Delta region, where Blues legends like Robert Johnson, Son House and Howlin' Wolf honed their craft. Muddy Waters and BB King headed north from here towards Chicago — and Bob Dylan even wrote a song and an album about it: Highway 61 Revisited.
We create unique cigar box guitars inspired by the Blues and the legendary Highway 61.
The Instruments
ALL GUITARS
THE CRAFT
HANDMADE.
HAND-VOICED.
The Workshop
Each hand-made guitar is a work of passion for music and craftsmanship — designed and crafted in the USA from the best quality materials and components. No two are alike: each has its own distinct sound and quality of harmonics and overtones.
Open G & Blues Blasters
The guitars are tuned to Open G and strung with nickel-wound, electric medium "Blues Blasters" — built for slide, built for bend, built for the Blues.
Intonation, Obsessed Over
We pay particular attention to intonation — maintaining pitch accuracy across the entire fretboard. It is the key to quality string bends and vibrato.
Pickups & Electronics
From under-bridge rod piezos to flat-wound and double humbuckers, every build gets the electronics its voice demands — with volume and tone controls where the song calls for them.
“You can learn to play in 3 or 4 weeks and be skillful in 3 or 4 months — versus 6 months to learn and many years to be proficient with standard guitars.”
