Rustbuckets
Galvo
Brass
I
make metal bodied resonator guitars from brass and steel.
All
of the variations in style, ie “F”holes, slots, single cone style
coverplate on tricones, are available in each material.
All
models, including tricones, can be made left handed at no extra
cost.
The
brass bodies are polished and then electro-plated with nickel. We
can do custom etching on these.
The
steel bodies come in a few variations. The first are the Galvo models
made from .65mm galvanised steel. Then there are the rustbucket
models made from the same steel but stripped of their galvanised
coating and then trated to come up with varying degrees of rust
finish.
The
other type of Rustbuckets are made from old sheets of corrugated
steel that I scrounge from old building demolition
sites
and farms etc. The new stuff (from about 1965 on) is too brittle.

From
time to time I have guitars for immediate sale, usually my waiting
list is about 3 months.
