Bob is making folk instruments.  He has cigar box guitars, dulcimers and canjos built so far.  He has 2 resonator guitars and 2 ukuleles almost complete. He is selling them at art fairs around the Phoenix area and doing quit well.  We've created a new website for his folk instruments.

www.riverratsrhythms.com   More pics on the website.  They really sound sweet.  Later this week I'm going to post audio of each instrument.

Bob's picked up a new hobby this past year.  He is busy making and selling canjos and cigar box guitars.  Bob's favorite thing to do is to make a custom guitar specific to the customers order. If you don't see what you want here, give him a call.  He will love to make a guitar just for you. A website is being built with his creative instruments, but not done, yet. Until it is up and running I will post some of his handmade instruments here.

This one is an all-wood cigar box with one string, a "pickup" and fretless.  Fretless makes this a great guitar to use with a slide. This sells for $40.00

Another electric guitar made from an all-wood cigar box. This one has frets and sounds so sweet.  It has only one string, too.  Price is $40.00

This is a tin can with 1 string, fretless with pickup.  $40.00

2 Canjos and 1 Spamjo. the have one string and frets.  $20.00 each.
