About us

Enjoy the best design and functions combined together

We are a very small custom guitar builder who strives to make what the big manufacturers don’t or will not.   We do not make exact copies of stratocasters, telecasters and Les Pauls. If you want a telecaster or stratocaster, I suggest buying a Fender.  

If you want something that the big manufacturers don’t make, then talk to us.  

Exotic woods and or exotic shapes are what we do.   We avoid paint, why hide the beauty of an exotic wood.   Oil based finishes will make the wood grain pop.  Polyurethane will make a tough finish.   For the ultimate,  French polished will give shine and make the wood grain pop.  It is not as tough as poly, but it is easier to patch.  


Thicker bodies or , thinner and lighter bodies and better hardware.   If you want something different, we strive to design and make these original guitars.

Think outside the box.

The Secret of Success

Differentiation

Exotic Woods

These woods cost more, but a guitar will last a lifetime.

Each piece of wood can be very unique from flame maple, quilted maple and burls.   In addition there are many other woods such as Bubinga, Bocote, Goncal Alves, Black Limba, Olive wood, Bloodwood, Canary wood, Lacewood, Paudak, Wenge, White Wenge, Persimmons (white ebony), Sapele, Walnuts, Hickory, Shedua, Zebrawood, Rosewoods, and much more.  Many of the exotics can be source in highly figured which will make a guitar that no one can copy.


Reasonable costs

Factory built guitars can be cheap.  If you are looking at a cheap guitar made in Asia, most likely the components are cheap.   you can not buy a $500 guitar with quality components.   Something has to give.   We make reasonably price guitars will less expensive components all the way to more expensive guitars with top notch pickups and hardware.

Custom Electronics

What type of pickup and sound are you looking for. This can be customized!

There are many inexpensive pickups that sound good as well as many mid price that sound excellent.  If you desire specific tone, we can source, Seymour Duncan, Dimarzio, Lace, Fender, Fishman, TV Jones, EMG, Mojo Tone, Tone Rider and many more.

Coil splitting, Hyperswitch, you name it we can do it.
