Hauver’s handmade replica of the Barbecue Bob (Grand Concert) 12 String Guitar has the same body dimensions and ladder bracing as the Charlie Patton Guitar. Robert Hicks’s employment at a local restaurant gave rise to his recording name Barbecue Bob. His guitar style was among the most percussive found in the blues, setting him apart from some like-sounding Georgian players. The Barbecue Bob is a midsize guitar and is easy to wrap your arms around which makes playing a 12 string guitar comfortable.
See & hear Toby Walker play “Statesboro Blues” on the Barbecue Bob 12 String below.
