| Well where to start with "Mr Red Dog" himself! John has not only been a great friend but is an insanely talented artist, craftsman, musician as well as a historian. Each of his one of a kind instruments are hand crafted with no compromise to every meticulous detail. I'm not just saying this by looking at the pictures, I have a few in my collection! Not only is John true artist and an innovator in what he does but you will find him to be a pleasure to deal with. He's one of the "good guys" in the business! Take a look and read up on the history! |
| Red Dog Guitars is a small one person craft shop specializing in keeping a truly American tradition alive of making Dobro, Slide, Folk, Tenor, Acoustic and Electric guitars out of different types of Vintage and Antique cigar boxes. This dying form of construction spans back well over 150 years in our country's history. My Name is John McNair, I enjoy working by myself with the occasional help from my wife. Every single guitar I build is built by hand and pocket knife one-by-one using only the highest quality and rarest of recycled materials in a pursuit of the richest, most authentic Blues and Country sound and tone possible. I build both Left and Right hand guitars and whether you are a Blues, Country, Bluegrass, or even a Rock guitarist, I'm sure to have the perfect guitar for you. |
| I guess I'm one of the last people in America who still makes the original "Homemade" Bo Diddley guitars out of left over junk and recycled wood....It seems the music world has moved on to a different sound a feel and I am but a builder of Dinosours...It's sad that machines have taken over the craftsman's hand and eye.....but, if your tired of seeing the same old store bought guitars you'll love the real American Bo Diddley guitars I have made in the past.........check them out! |
