These TIN-TONE GUITARS are entirely Hand-built in London by Jon Free. Coming from a background in Archtop Guitars, Tin-Tones are constructed in an unique manner; inspired by the engineering ingenuity of c.1920s Resonator and Stroh-Guitar designs, and the resoucefulness of turn-of-the-century Cigar-Box guitar-builders, Tin-Tones are assembled using re-assigned antique tins and reclaimed seasoned hardwoods, fitted with hand-crafted parts of our own design.

Available Acoustic or Electrified, each one is Unique, and will have an evocative and timeless sound of it's own!

See www.tin-tone.com for full details of what we've made, and what's currently for sale...!
