Berger Argenti 6-String Guitar
Size: 35.5"l x 8"w x 3.5"h This unique 6-string Cigar-Box guitar is designed around the unusual Berger Argenti box. We added 2 black sound grilles and a piezo transducer pick up with volume knob to accent the beautiful box. The Berger Argenti has a Mahogany neck and headstock, Curly Maple fretboard with 21 well-seated frets. Our clean design is topped off by a hand-carved Mahogany headstock and silver-toned tuning machines.
