Tijeras, NM · Handcrafted Cigar Box Guitars

Vintage Box Guitars
The Collection

Every guitar is one of a kind

These are already built and ready to ship — hand-built from a different cigar box, license plate, or other salvaged material and named for it, so no two share a name — or a sound. Found one you love? Send an inquiry and Andrew will follow up personally. (There's no online checkout; every sale is handled directly with Andrew. Want to commission a piece that isn't built yet? See The Workbench.)

For the player who wants something no one else has — and the story behind it.
