amp-guitar

This guitar has a hand made box, a flattened spoon tailpiece, and a number of different decorative hardwoods.  While it can be plugged into an external amp, it also has a 9V 2.5 Watt CB Gitty amp kit built into the guitar.  Be careful with the gain on the amp and the tone on the guitar(feedback can be fierce), but it plays well both ways.  It has a higher action for slide playing.   Available for immediate shipping.

After a few requests, we now have some cigar box banjos for sale.  The one on the top has a fairly low action and is suitable for clawhammer playing, but picks tend to bang the top.  The other has a higher action suitable for finger picks.

$145.00US ea.

upright-bassupright-electric-bass

Here is something new.  Each of these basses are made with a wine crate.  The upright bass on the left has a curved cherry fingerboard and maple bridge.  It has a contact pickup on the bridge and has a small violin bow at present.  The bass on the right is essentially a long scale (35″) bass built as an upright.  It has a marked but fretless fingerboard and a long tail that can be cut to suit the player’ height.  Both are available for immediate shipping, which will be more expensive than normal because of the size.
