"Triple Jack" Cigar Box Guitar

Post by Jail Bird »

Hi there!

One of my blog readers who happens to be a die-hard fan of Jack (we are few in Spain but insanely obsessed :crazy: ) sent me some pics of his recently customized Cigar Box Guitar. He's named it "Triple Jack" -needless to explain why.

I thought someone else would appreciate it around here...

According to Wiki:
"The earliest predecessors had one or two strings; the modern model typically uses three or more."
