The CanJoe Company recently received a ten year old “Premium” model canjoe instrument in the shop in order for some minor repair work (covered by lifetime warranty). It was originally sold at MerleFest 2001, was initially made of beautiful mahogany and it sported a very limited edition custom “CanJoe*John” can. The decision was made after evaluating repair options to do a ‘canplete’ overhaul face lift on it, so therefore all the original frets were then removed, all the hardware and the can removed, and then the finger board was planed down and a beautiful new veneer walnut finger board was laminated on. The instrument was then trimmed, re-shaped, re-fretted, beautifully stained and clear-coat finished, and is now sporting a new (still very limited edition) “CanJoe*John” custom can.

The “Canjoe Junior” (TM) is a smaller model of 2/3rd the size of the full sized model. It was hand crafted from fine cherry wood and finished to match the full sized version using the small 8 oz ‘A&W root beer’ can provided by the customer. This particular “Junior” was also made using some of the recycled parts taken from the restoration job of the full sized instrument; the ‘nut’ for this instrument was implemented from one of the old frets, the tuner key was re-used and the string used was from the old instrument, too.
