The Gerry Gessie Signature Series - This is a first for Sugarbox and maybe the only one like this on the planet. This Hybrid was built for world renowned Gerry Gessie who happens to be our Ambasador and celebrity owner of several Sugarbox creations. Gerry is also the ambasador for the Martin PackPacker and the Heritage "Little One". Gerry has been a great inspiration to us. His wisdom and generousity have helped to make us a great guitar company. Credits are also due to his wife Ronnie who tirelessly performs shows with Gerry and still works very hard torwards thankless acts of kindness Like the Pens for Veterans project.

Boston Bouzouki: This prototype is alittle further along than shown here. This is our first Irish Bouzouki. It has a solid body, flat back, contoured top, Pri Mavera wood from Mexico body,Brazillian Cherry center inlay, Maple neck with Resin Encapsulated old growth pine fingerboard. The 300 year old pine has a petrified feel and has a figured glass-like finish. This solid body will have 2 custom piezo pickups and a vintage blade type magnetic pickup with adjustable internal pole hieght. Hybrid alloy strings will help transfer sound to both pickup types. The idea for this instrument came from Barry at ninestones.com, see his sight for a wide range of obscure music related topics.



Fully Loaded Cigar Box Guitar: This extra large Don Thomas Cigar Box in bright yellow makes this about the baddest hot rod CBG to date. Picks s[eak for themselves. This one is a day or two away from hitting the Sugarbox tour of guitars.
