Visiting Bob Rigaud at RIGAUD GUITARS

The man behind the man with the guitar. That would be Bob Rigaud, at RIGAUD GUITARS.
Bob is a long time friend and has been creating these amazing instruments there in the North Carolina.
Personally I am a nut about the sound of a guitar.....each one has it's own thing...personally not being able to put it in words...but you know when a guitar has something.
And it seems that everything that Bob seems to be making has it own unique thing......if you ever get a chance to play one of these gems you will know....cheers Bob
