I first saw these guitars being played on the Coda Tuition YouTube channel. Check it out. They looked good but sounded even better. From there I was directed to D&H. After emailing Pat I bought the black walnut with 2 humbuckers. When I received it (I live in Chicago) and it was delivered within days I was blown away by the quality. And the tone is terrific. That is what I was looking for and what struck me so much in the Coda videos. I have a couple of other cigar box guitars. A couple of DIY - none come even close to the tone of this guitar. As with anything else you get what you pay for. So pleased with this guitar.
I edited this to add that I bought a case too so that the international delivery would be safe.

I’ve just received my second build from Pat. The first being a black jack.
This time My only stipulation was that I wanted x2 P90’s and a box similar to the Harlequin Resophonic (another model) and also the timber I would like.
The results were OUTSTANDING..
If you want quality and playability then this is the man.
Products not only look good, but will also improve your playing

3 years agoI had been interested in getting a cigar box guitar for some time and during lockdown decided to go ahead and after a lot of web trawling I came across the D&H website and I was immediately hooked. The guitars looked fantastic and it was obvious from the site that they were made with passion. I contacted Pat Hammett with a couple of questions then ordered a Black Walnut Jack 4 string with a P90 pickup and hard case and waited eagerly for delivery. It was a pleasure dealing with Pat and the guitar was delivered in the specified lead time. The guitars are all hand made and this one is a truly beautifully crafted work of art, is perfectly set up and sounds fantastic. I also bought the Tomahawk T5 amp which is a brilliant little amp which sounds incredible for iits nsize. Thank you Pat for a great guitar and brilliant service.
