We understand how frustrating it can be managing the complexities of guitar manufacturing.
Building your own guitars is fun! Starting and owning your own guitar brand can start off as a dream that turns into a nightmare. We make things easy so you can do what you love and bring your dream to life
Tinkering around in your garage with basic hand tools while trying to build something that sets you apart can take so much time that you can never charge enough to make it a worthwhile business venture. Besides, who wants their stuff covered in sawdust? Using our DIY parts and blanks let’s you fully customize your builds with less time and effort, we can even fully build your design so it comes to you ready to finish and set-up
Even a fully equipped home shop can cost in the tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Breaking even on your guitar builds can take years. We have a fully equipped shop, trained staff and make a quality American made product. Our clients break even or turn a profit with a few sales.
If you have already launched a successful brand you might find yourself pulled in every direction. Running a business takes a lot of work and running a one person shop is it’s own full time job. Finding the balance is tricky. Do you focus your time and energy on making the product, or marketing and selling it?
If you would rather build full time and have someone else handle the office jobs, you might want to look somewhere else. If you need to get parts or roughed blanks done so you can do the other stuff, or just have more time for yourself and family, we can build for you with minimum orders of 10 units and capacity to handle whatever you need.
You might have it all handled, you can manage both sides of the business. Sales are going good and you are able to keep up with demand, but now you are looking to grow your business. Meeting your goals means you need to prepare for higher capacity; expanding your shop, finding a commercial location, buying more equipment, hiring (and firing) staff, and taking on expenses that you might not be comfortable with until you know that the sales numbers are there. We work with well known guitar companies to take over pieces of the build that would take away resources they could use elsewhere.
Use our guitar designs to save on CAD and set-up fees. We have several designs to choose from.
Available styles include:
- Bolt on, set neck or neck through body
- Flat top and Carved top bodies
- Multiple scale lengths from tenor to baritone
- Extended necks: 24 fret and 7-string
- Classic design you know and modern features such as headless and multi-scale
