Introducing the ShonKybox Tripletone 6 string cigar box guitar SCBG011

It's been a while since I finished a guitar. This is the culmination of many hours over several weeks of work.
If you are familiar with my Calbana Flor Fina 6 string cigar box guitar then this one should be slightly reminiscent although I've taken the idea and gone further with it.

Here is the description and photo's from the ShonKy website.

The Shonkybox Tripletone is the most fantastic and versatile cigar box guitar to have come from the Shonky workshop. It is also without doubt, one of the most unique guitars ever built. The body is constructed from a Cohiba cigar box. The neck is attached to a mahogany core which runs through the entire body. The scroll upper and lower body bouts are rough carved from reclaimed mahogany. The uknown neck is flamed maple. when it arrived at the Shonky workshop the headstock was in a horrible mess.a previous owner had tried to expand the 8mm holes to 10mm and made a proper mess. I could have filled them but that would have looked ugly so I cut the whole edge with the holes off and laminated a block of mahogany to it and drilled nice new holes. I also laminated a thin strip of mahogany to the back of the headstock. The hardwear has been aged and the guitar has been given the ShonKy trademark oilstain finish. The unique look of the Tripletone is matched by it's unique pickup configuration. In the neck position is a re-used Humbucker which is coil tappable by a pull push knob. the middle pickup is a re-used powerful EMG design alnico single coil from a Axl Strat. Under the lid are two piezo discs. The five way switch selects them as follows. 1: Bridge Humbucker 2:Bridge and single coil. 3: Single coil. 4: Single coil and Piezo 5 Piezo The lid also acts a soundboard as it resonates freely. The Tripletone is quite loud without plugging it in ideal for late night noodling. Re-cycled Shotgun cartridge control knobs. The Tripletone is built for blues and it delivers blues in spades. The Humbucker in double coil mode is Jazzy soft warm and mellow In single coil mode it's still soft but with a bit of edge. The single coil in contrast is super clear and crisp with more volume. The twin piezo's deliver that honk and growl in abundance, just what you want from a cigar box guitar. The best thing in my opinion is the combination of the single coil with the piezo's on the plywood lid through a little amp is pure delta blues. I didn't mention when I wrote this up that the guitar is also very comfortable to play. Light and well balanced.
