Cigar Guitart in Etters, Pennsylvania brings a unique perspective to the world of custom guitar building through the skilled hands of Jeff, a retired carpenter and property manager who discovered his calling during the pandemic. His background in carpentry translates beautifully into the art of luthier work, where precision and craftsmanship are paramount.

Specializing in custom-built cigar box guitars, Jeff transforms empty cigar boxes into fully playable instruments that blend folk art tradition with modern playability. His boutique shop offers handcrafted 3-string cigar box guitars, cigar box bass guitars, and cigar box ukuleles, each built to order with attention to detail that reflects decades of woodworking experience. The instruments aren’t just novelties‚they’re genuine playing guitars that showcase proper fretwork, setup, and construction techniques.

Every build at Cigar Guitart is a custom creation, allowing musicians to own a one-of-a-kind instrument with character and soul. Jeff’s transition from carpentry to instrument building demonstrates how traditional woodworking skills can evolve into specialized guitar tech expertise, creating unique pieces that stand apart from mass-produced instruments.
