Cooking with Gitty: Cockey Creek Cigar Box Guitars by Randy Lee Thomas
The cigar box guitar above was built by Randy Lee Thomas of Cockey Creek Cigar Box Guitars. Here's what he had to say about it:
I've built a few CBG's and this latest one turned out very nicely. Great service and parts from C.B. Gitty made it all possible to turn this one around in less than 2 weeks from parts order to awesome birthday gift for a friend.
Parts used were as follows...
- Oak Neck Pre-Cut for fretting
- Shane Speal Tuners for 4 string
- "Snake Oil" Pre -wired Humbucker
- Bourns Linear and Audio Taper Potentiometers
- Chrome Hard Tail 4 string Bridge
- Shiny Chrome Box corners (8)
- Medium/Medium fret wire
- "Chrome Dome" knobs for Volume and Tone
- Southbound String Set
- Chrome Strap Buttons
The only non Non C.B. Gitty things were an orange drop capacitor on the tone pot, rhinestone fret markers and the hardware store latch hook.
When I plugged into a Marshall tube amp, I wanted to keep it ! It sounds crazy good folks.
Thanks again to C.B. Gitty for their superior efforts to supply us with excellent parts!
Sincerely,
Randy Lee Thomas
