Rat Bait Guitars are different from other guitars in several ways. First of all, they are made from recycled wood gathered from various sources, such as old furniture, fence posts, roof constructions, flooring, and more.

These discarded bits of timber are reused and reshaped into guitar bodies that have a unique character and history. The wood is also upcycled, repurposed, and recycled, which means that it reduces waste and saves resources. Rat Bait Guitars are custom built, which means that each guitar is one of a kind and not repeatable.
