Custom Crafted Cigar Box Guitar by D Guitars Miami

Here we have a custom crafted Cohibacaster cigar box guitar built by Master luthier Doron Markowitz of D Guitars Miami!! Check us out at www.myspace.com/dguitarsmiami. You'll notice the antique doubloon inlaid at the headstock, a trademark of D Guitars Miami, so you know that owning a custom crafted guitar from D Guitars Miami is like owning a piece of treasure!! This is number 002, completed on 10-19-07. What makes this cbg unique is the fact that it is a true "shred box" in every sense of the word. It has an extremely comfortable 6 string maple neck w/a soft "v" shape and rosewood fretboard with a gorgeous grain, and low, fast action, enclosed chrome, a GFS Dream 180 humbucking pickup in the bridge, and a 60's Teisco single coil in the neck for any tones ranging from hot electric guitar leads, to serious bluesman-approved honk. The body is made out of a Bolivar box with brass corners, and modified arm rest. This is semi-hollow, so yes, you can strum this acoustically as well. The controls consist of a 3 way tele pickup selector, volume control w/a Pignose knob!! Additional hardware includes, sink drain sound hole screen, chrome trapeze tailpiece, antique-style brass skeleton key bridge saddle with perfect intonation , currently setup with 11 gauge strings tuned to standard tuning, chrome contemporary strap buttons, and a picture hanger loop on the back of the headstock so when you aren't playing your Cohibacaster, you can hang it on the included picture hanger hook in your living room as a piece of functional wall art. That feature alone is worth the price of admission!! This is a real monster player, and one of my favorites. It is lightweight, compact, toneful, and can fit in any overhead compartment, and so is the perfect travel guitar. You will not find a better bang for your buck value in cigarbox guitars than you will with the Cohibacaster line from D Guitars Miami. Plus, I put a lot into every guitar I build so you really are getting something special. Rock On!!

i have a teisco guitar...my uncle gave it to me from mid 1960's if oyu know anything abou them send me a message or comment back because i have a teisco and dont know what model it is!!! Even the people at the guitar store dun know what it is...maybe u can help

[doronm63]

Well, I think Teiscos are really cool. Very kitchy. Ihave a few of them, hollow-bodies, and solid bodies, and they all have really cool tones and sustain very well. Keep in mind though, you usually have to do quite a bit of "tweaking" when you get one in order to make it playable. But in the end, it's worth it. I have one that I put all new frets in, a Dream 180 in the bridge, etc., and it is just dripping with coolness!! Thanks.
