Electric Cigar Box Guitar with Cigar Box Amp!

Includes 6 string electric guitar, mini 9V cigar box amplifier, Fuzz Face pedal, slide and guitar cord.

Included in this package are the guitar, the amp, a Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face Clone pedal, a slide made from a .50 caliber machine gun casing and a guitar cord.  Everything you need to start playing it right out of the box.

Here are the details:

First, the guitar.  Short scale (21.5") Gretsch neck and top quality tuners.  Neck is a bolt on and is straight as an arrow with almost no fret wear.  Telecaster bridge and a dual rail humbucker which sounds awesome!

I tune this to an open G and play slide, but the action is quite low and it is certainly easy enough to play fretted as well.  The cigar box is a chambered solid body filled with hard maple on the inside on the inside, but with resonance chambers left so it really rings!

Here's the video on youtube that gives you an idea of what this axe is capable of.

Now the amp:
A hand built solid state guitar amplifier that runs on a 9V battery.  It is built into an absolutely beautiful little wooden cigar box.  The box is a work of art itself with dovetailed corners and a gloss finish.    The speaker sounds awesome and has a built in grille for protection.  The box slides opens to change the battery (or change the sound).  It is about a half watt amp that is surprisingly loud.  On/off switch, and two vintage style chicken head knobs.  One controls volume and the other controls gain, from a warm slightly overdriven sound to a full on Marshall stack classic rock type sound.  Not much in the way of clean sounds available.
Here is a quote from Shane Speal, the King of the Cigar Box Guitar about one of my cigar box amplifiers that he owns (same circuit as the amp in this auction):

"my cigar box amp built by Dennis
Menard that ABSOLUTELY BLOWS THE SNOUT OFF OF ANY PIGNOSE!!! It works
like a Pignose (even does that cool wah-wah thing when you open the
box lid), but it also has a f#$%king amazing extra overdrive dial.  If Dennis makes more of these, all y'all should get one. Damn, it's
great.

I love my amp!!!  Dennis Menard's cigar box amplifier is even better than the classic Pignose.  First of all, Menard's creation contains an incredible sounding GAIN knob.  Second, the cigar box housing creates its own character, unlike any other amp.  I've already recorded one album with this amp (Quadraphonic Octopus' "The Air Between the Machines") and expect to use it for a lot more in the future.   -Shane Speal, King of the Cigar Box Guitar)".

Here is a soundclip of one of my other amps which has the same circuit as this one.

Also included in this package is a clone of the famous Fuzz Face pedal with the so-called "Roger Mayer/Jimi Hendrix" mods.  NOS germanium transistors, true bypass and the finest quality parts used throughout.  Just the pedal to push this guitar and amp over the top!

The slide is not pictured but it is handmade from a .50 machine gun cartridge casing, I wear it on my little finger (and I have pretty big hands).  Plus a standard guitar cord to round out the package. Sorry, this combo has been sold, but if you would like me to build you a similar combo, just send an email and we'll talk.
