A San Latano Requiem Maduro cigar box has become the body of a really cool three-string electro/acoustic slide guitar. I chose a full fretted red oak neck and maple fingerboard for the strings to dance over. A walnut laminate covers the headstock scarf joint, and Corian serves for the nut and saddle. Because of the inverted bevel design of the box top, the string action rides a little higher than usual to accommodate it. Black tuners were chosen to compliment the box color. It's a very basic design, nothing wild or strange, but it works very well with a slide . . . sounds good and fun to play.
