The Black Betty - 3-string Electric/Acoustic Cigar Box Guitar by Deke - Featuring the Black Mamba Humbucker

It's hard to beat a traditional design when it sounds this darn good. Fully fretted to a 23-inch scale, this 3-string acoustic/electric cigar box guitar is strung "Blues G" GDG. It is considered a "neck through" model cigar box guitar, where the neck runs through the inside of the cigar box.

Hand-crafted by Dan "Deke" Caldwell in the C. B. Gitty workshop, the body of this guitar is made out of a thin all-wood cigar box that produces an impressive acoustic presence. Paired with our Medium GDG Blues set, the humbucker in this guitar strikes as potently as it's namesake, the Black Mamba!
