Bill Jagitsch, Bluesboy Jag Box Guitars, Little Rock, Arkansas, U.S.A.

Bluesboy Jag starting playing in bands in 1980, he has been in dozens of bands playing everything from classic rock to pre-war hill country one man band, cigar box guitar and slide blues blues to experimental jazz/rock improvisation. So I have the experience and knowledge to make a sturdy, balanced, in-tune CBG for every type of music. I weight them for optimum balance and that increases the sustain. My customers ask me all the time if they are stage worthy, which of course they are; I wouldn’t sell them if they weren’t 

I started in 2004 after seeing them on the cover of “Make” hobby magazine. I had already been playing blues and had heard about CBGs many years before, but I had never seen or played one. I figured they would fit perfectly into my blues solo act. I have built and sold over 4,500 since then.

 

​Bluesboy Jag Cigar Box Guitars are hand made one at a time by Bill Jagitsch in his North Little Rock home workshop. Options include dozens of designs, custom artwork, 1,2,3 or 4 strings, single coil or humbucker pickups, dual pickups, dog bowl resonators, custom art and lefty CBG's. but our team is here to help.
