How to get started on your custom build

  • Wood

    It all starts with finding just the right piece of magic wood for the sound & look you are going for. Ash, Alder, Mahogany? Maybe something a bit more exotic like Limba? Want a natural, grain laden look? A one or two piece body? Or will it be coated in sparkles and you’d prefer a more affordable, multi-piece paint grade body? Maybe even roasted ash for that extra unique sound? We can help guide you every step of the way.

  • Shaping & routing

    While it might seem simple, these choices literally shape the kind of guitar you will receive. Do you want a chambered body for lighter weight and a woodier sound? Do you want it routed for a pair of humbuckers? Maybe just the classic tele pickup combination? How about the controls? Two? Four? Toggle switch or blade? Rear or front access control cavity? Pickguard or no? Would you like a belly cut? Or a slight carve in the top? You can’t go wrong but there are lots of small choices to be made that equal your ideal guitar.

  • Painting & Finishing

    This is where things really get fun. We can do a standard single-color paint job just like the classics. Add a stripe or two? Why not! Maybe you want a stained top with flame maple? We got that covered for you. Or maybe you’re ready to go all-in on a multi-colored sparkle finish? YES YES YES! If you have an idea, let’s figure it out together.
