Cooking with Gitty: Keith Hicks' New Orleans Acoustic Cigar Box Guitar
Dear Gitty,
My name is Keith Hicks from New Orleans, LA. I built this guitar with a jatoba (Brazilian chery) neck, white ash fretboard and oak fret markers. The fretboard has a 12" radius, 25" scale and the bridge is walnut. I kept it all acoustic.
These all wood boxes sound incredible.

- Bone nut
- Shane Speal signature tuners
- String ferrules
- Jescar low/medium nickel radiused fret wire
- Strap buttons
