Aroma De Cuba 6-String Guitar
Size: 36"l x 6.5"w x 2"h A Nod to the 1950's NYC cab-driver, this lovely 6-string guitar is powered by our lip-stick single-coil pick-up. The Volume knob may have once been on a checker cab dashboard and the bridge plate is a vintage door "pull". La Aroma De Cuba features a fully-fretted mahogany neck and english sycamore fretboard with pearl fret markers. The headstock features a hand-carved design. This cigar-box guitar is both a joy to play and look at.
