Folk style, travel guitars
Custom made folk style guitars. Neck and Body are made from one piece wood where the resonate body sides are spread out and the piece from the center is added to the tail end to give it its resonate acoustic unique sound
Fuel Can Guitars
Unique guitars built out of old fuel cans, I build a internal wooden skeleton inside the fuel can, to give it some rigidity and cut down on the thin tinny sound. most all of the guitars we make have at minimum, acoustic pickups in them wired to a 1/4" jack so they can be plugged into an amplifier
Unique Instruments
One of a kind unique instruments include Mandolins, License plate Resonator guitars, Steel String electric ukulele's, bible boxes, and Automotive themed creations
Hubcap Resonators and 5 string banjos
I enjoy using reproposed parts and give them new life, in this case, I've used old/used hubcaps and converted them into resonator guitars and even banjos. I like to use forks as tail pieces with an allen wrench to hold the strings back behind the bridge.
Cigar box Guitars.
This is where it started with me, making stringed instruments out of old cigar boxes. sometimes they are ukuleles, mandolins, dulcimers, and even traditional 6 string guitars. they all have their own unique sound and are all original, one of a kind instruments.
Commissioned instruments often take 4-6 weeks to complete
