James Neligan Cigar Box Guitar Cask Firkin

The James Neligan Cigar Box guitar is a special instrument, inspired by the 'home made' guitars that are sometimes made with cigar boxes. James Neligan set to work with this fact and came up with these fine instruments. This Cask Firkin has 4 strings.

Cigar Box Guitar Voices

The James Neligan Cigar Box Guitar has 4 strings, which gives you some options for tuning it. You can tune it in 'open G' or 'open D', or in 'standard guitar tuning'. For this last tuning, you tune the strings like the thinnest 4 strings of a guitar: E-B-G-D. Another option is the 'banjo tuning'. You can tune a 5-string banjo D-B-G-D-G. You can tune your cigar box guitar like the 4 'long' strings of the banjo: B-G-D-G, with the B string being the thinnest.

Maintenance of the James Neligan Cigar Box guitar
Like any instrument, the Cigar Box also needs some maintenance. Always keep in mind that the instrument is made of wood, a living material. And wood does not tolerate fluctuations in temperature and humidity, which can cause cracks and tears. It is therefore best to keep the James Neligan Cigar box guitar in a humidity between 45 and 55% and in the cover. You should also clean the instrument regularly. For the fretboard you use lemon oil, for the body a general polish.
