Undercrown 6-String Guitar
Size: 35"l x 7"w x 3"h This classic cigar-box guitar is constructed with a Brazilian Cherry neck and Movingue fretboard that runs through the entire length of the body. Sound is projected by our Lip Stick single-coil magnetic pickup, and we installed repurposed gear pieces to control volume/tone knobs. The distinctive UnderCrown logo sets this piece off perfectly. For a bonus, George found an old door-pull and used it for the bridge. A true Repurposed/Recycled beauty.
