Custom Shop

I am now accepting commissions for custom instruments for the second half of 2026. As a highly discerning guitarist with years of experience in researching and playing a wide variety of instruments, I am confident I can help guide you toward a guitar that will inspire you and elevate your playing to new levels. You can find images and specifications of my previous custom builds below. Please contact me if you are interested in scheduling a consultation.

Custom Build Process

Before we begin construction, I will work with you to determine the key specifications for your instrument, which include:

  • Wood Selection

  • Body Style

  • Scale Length

  • Nut Width

  • Fretboard Radius

  • Number of Frets

  • Pickups

  • Bridge

  • Control Layout

Once the specifications are finalized, I will develop a detailed CAD model so you can see what the guitar will look like and if you would like any changes made. I will begin construction upon approval. The body, neck, and fretboard are precision machined with CNC for accuracy and consistency, while all remaining carving, finishing, and setup work is completed by hand. I look forward to the opportunity to make your dream instrument into a reality.

Dream it.
