Guitar “shell”:

We wanted to pay homage to this icon of modern music that is the Cigar Box Guitar. An original design and a specific scale give these instruments a unique sound and character. Add a unique piece to your sound collection and discover new sonic horizons!

“Cask” series:

For whiskey makers, the choice of a barrel is crucial: its size and type of wood determine the smell, taste, attack and hold of the whiskey. This explains why there are so many varieties of whiskey. At JN Guitars, we believe that whiskey production and guitar making are similar professions because the shape of the body and the selected wood species give the instrument a specific sound and character. CASK therefore became an obvious name for our Cigar Box Guitars.
