Description
Add a little slice of history to your next cigar box guitar build!
This is another in our line of "Classic Coinage" parts for cigar box guitars, all of which have real, vintage U. S. coins set into them. This is a sound hole cover laser-cut from hardwood panels, which features a classic "Indian Head" design cent. These solid copper pennies were minted between the years 1859 and 1908, and remain one of the most recognizable of the classic American coins.
The coins set into these sound hole covers are real vintage cent pieces minted by the U. S. Mint. They are circulated coins and will show varying degrees of wear and or minor surface blemishes. We present them here not for their collector (numismatic) value, but rather for their nostalgia and visual appeal.
These sound hole covers are 2 1/2" in diameter (64mm) and fit nicely over a 1 3/4" (~44mm) hole. They are cut from solid 1/8" thick hardwood panels, with a nice wagon wheel-style pattern and 4 mounting holes. Mounting screws not included.
Please note: We do not overly polish or buff the coins that we mount into these pieces, prefering to leave them in their natural state of coloration and patina from years of circulation. If you prefer a shinier finish, you can always use some extra-fine steel wool to buff them up a bit.

"Indian Head" Vintage Penny Sound Hole Cover for Cigar Box Guitars, "Oval Flame" Aluminum Sound Hole Cover
while building this guitar I was thinking of the person who would receive it. Then I realized he is left handed so I continued the build along with the superfluous mistakes. At that time I watched Del Puckett using three Little nails on his Bible boxes. I used the nails and covered the sound hole with the oval flame and was able to used a red feather from my deceased African Grey parrot as the assimilated fire. I'm enjoying making playable musical instruments. Glory to God. Pray-sing-Him-all-ways
