We are hobby builders. We began making these wonderful instruments for ourselves, then friends and family. Soon we realized that a lot of folks liked what we were building and now spend our spare time making them for others.
At our small shop located in Melbourne, Florida we handcraft 3-string guitars and cigar box amps. Built from quality parts and materials, one-at-a-time, we strive for a high level of craftsmanship in every build. Our goal is to help "spread the music" by offering unique and affordable, quality instruments.
So now you're probably wondering, "Can I sing while I play a 3-string guitar?"
Sure! You can stomp your foot and play a harp too if you like. Watch this:
