"Route 66" 3-string Illustrated Cigar Box Guitar - features vintage cigar box artwork

"Play your licks... on Route 66!" Proudly emblazoned with the legendary Route 66 sign depicted as painted on an aged brick wall, this guitar is an essential part of your kit for the next cross-country trip!

This beautiful piece is one of our line of Illustrated Guitars, designed to capture the essence of great-sounding and easy-playing instrument crafting. To the sturdy frame (tone-rich wooden cigar box, hardwood neck & fretboard, solid tried-and-true hardware), we add a beautiful, full-color piece of artwork, uniquely vivifying the instrument and drawing the eye of all who see it. This handcrafted guitar has a full, rich acoustic tone (and a built-in contact pickup, if you want to amplify it), a nice high ringing treble voice, and is simply a joy to play. Best of all is the affordable price on this hand-crafted-in-the-USA piece of musical art.

The box top (sound board) of the guitar is printed using our "Vivigraphic" Method: a full-color, photo-resolution printing process using highly durable UV-cured inks, allowing for a precise reproduction of the image (with wood grain showing through any white areas). The image is printed directly onto the box's top panel using very durable, UV-cured inks. These guitars are built from new, unbranded wooden cigar boxes, which have never held cigars and have no connection to the tobacco industry.

We also include a bonus "Player's Pack" with every guitar, which includes a 60-page songbook with how-to-play lessons, a chord poster, guitar picks & More!
