Double neck, electrified cigar box guitar
Built by Tomi-O Hartwell of Hinton, WV. This guitar was a gift to Shane Speal after Hartwell asked Speal what his 'ultimate cigar box guitar' would be. Speal drew up plans for a double neck similar to this creation. Hartwell added Fender Telecaster pickups, zebra wood necks and filled the box with solid wood (thus making the instrument a solidbody electric).
Speal performed with this instrument alongside Bobby Hamilton in the Songs Inside the Box documentary. Ironically, Hamilton was also playing a cigar box guitar built by Tomi-O Hartwell.
