Finding A Firm For Custom Handcrafted Guitars

By Diane Stevens


If you are a guitar player you will usually buy stock instruments from a local musical instrument retailer or an online supplier and there are many models available. Electric and acoustic guitars are sold in many designs and at prices to suit most pockets. If you want a personalized instrument you may be searching for a company for custom handcrafted guitars and it is worth looking at all of the available options.

The guitar makers are able to offer various options when you are in the design stages including different construction materials and finishes. Left and right handed guitars can be made and many players will require custom engraving. A lot of electric players will want a matching amplifier and your builder can usually supply a matching cab.

Many players now prefer design their own instruments and have them made to their own designs and specifications. Acoustic models can be built in various sizes from exotic woods and can be finished in many different ways. You can also have the necks, pick guards and inlaid fret markers customized to your own taste to give the guitar a unique look.

When you are having electric instruments made there will be even more custom options for you to choose from. Pickups can be installed and configured in various ways to produce a vast array of sounds. Different build materials including metals and rare woods can be used and the hardware can be made with gold or silver.

There are a few different ways to locate a company for a guitar build and your local instrument retailers are worth a visit. Other players that you know may have had a guitar made for them and may also help. Many of the large instrument manufacturers will also produce bespoke guitars and it is useful to get in touch with them to discuss your requirements.

The web is another place to find a company to make you a one off instrument and there are a large number of them to be found online. The web pages are packed with information and you can look at photographs of work they has been done in the past. You can call or email them to discuss things and there may usually be a testimonials page which allows you to read feedback and comments from their customers.

A large number of guitar makers can also manufacture other instruments such as lutes, mandolins and banjos. They will also provide maintenance services which will include repairs, set ups and inspections. When you take delivery of your new instrument it is very important that you keep the payment receipt which you may need when you insure it.

It is essential that instruments are looked after and well maintained to keep them in good condition. Always wipe the guitar with a lint free cloth after each playing session and store it in the case when you are not using it. It is also a good idea to locate a specialist insurance company and arrange cover in case your instrument gets lost, stolen or damaged.
