Electric Pinarbox
Electric guitar crafted from a reclaimed wine crate, equipped with splitable Wilkinson pickups.
FEATURE:
This electric guitar is self-powered! It includes a battery-operated Blackstar Fly amplifier (other amp options available). This means you can play anywhere, on the street, in the forest, on a train... No need for power outlets, cables, or even carrying around a separate amp. Everything is built in, just plug in and play.
Custom models are available on request.
Pinarbox
Designed and handcrafted in Saint-Lô, the Pinarbox is a French spin on the iconic American cigar box guitars, originally built from empty cigar boxes during the heyday of the blues.
Driven by a spirit of musical freedom and mobility, we’ve developed several versions of the Pinarbox: electric (with or without built-in amp), folk electro-acoustic, and soon classical, bass, and ukulele.
Staying true to a sustainable approach, these old wine crates are reborn, resonating under the strings of these bold and characterful instruments.
Fun fact: “Pinard” is old French slang for red wine, a cheeky nod to the wine crates that form the heart of every Pinarbox.
