Full description
The FIRKIN is the first model in our CASK series. This acoustic cigar box guitar stands out with its spar-shaped soundhole and will surprise you with its power and responsiveness. It is also the ideal travel companion.
We wanted to pay homage to the Cigar Box Guitar, an iconic musical instrument. The original design and specific scale length of these guitars give them a unique sound and temperament. Their peculiarity also comes from the number of strings - four for the CASK - which makes it easy to explore numerous alternative tunings. This will add to your sonic arsenal and take you to new musical heights!
For whisky producers, the choice of cask is crucial: its size and type of wood determine the whisky's aroma, flavour, penetration and durability. This explains why there are so many varieties of whisky. At JN Guitars, we believe that producing whisky and making a guitar are similar crafts, as the shape of the body and the selected types of wood give the instrument a specific sound and character. CASK therefore emerged as an obvious name for our Cigarbox guitars.
