The "3 Special" model is amplified with two pickups, a powerful single coil pickup and a piezoelectric switchable with selector to switch the piezoelectric pickup on or off.

Thanks to this pairing of pick-ups you get beautiful acoustic sounds typical of the delta blues sound and powerful electric sounds both clean and distorted.

It has volume and tone adjustment.

The single coil pick-up is not visible because it is hidden under the top so as not to spoil the aesthetics of the box.

This original solution of my invention does not penalize the sound.

The electronics can be inspected by removing the cover on the back.

The wooden box is decorated with a beautiful delta blues image engraved with the laser in focus.

The handle has a scale of 630mm. 

Total length 82 cm.

The keyboard with medium frets is set so that it can be played comfortably with your fingers or with the slide.

 The recommended tuning is the classic blues in open GDG, or AEA. 

Available in 3 different designs of your choice.

Mod. Delta Blues

Mod. American Road

Mod. The Delta Blues

  SOME CENSIONS:   

- Last night I played it for 2 hours, I didn't imagine I would be able to get familiar with the instrument right away, it sounds good with my amp and I also experimented with the use of the Cry baby Wha and it's cool. Thanks again and have a nice day.Dario C.   

- Good morning, package arrived .... everything perfect. The cigarbox is very nice !. Now we hope my son likes (and devotes himself to the blues ...). For now he is the bassist of Plunk Extend. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDQR5w2aUhU), but there is always hope! I hope to meet you sooner or later in some blues festival (Cerea?). PM   

- I got it yesterday - as a belated Christmas present from my sweetheart. - A great emotion as soon as I saw it ... 

- Very nice person and very fast service. The instruments arrived in less than a working day, the details are very accurate and I was able to appreciate the excellent workmanship and the sound from a first non-amplified use. Thanks and congratulations.  

 - I bought from him this morning !! Really reliable, nice and easygoing person. An artist!
