Searching For A Company For Custom Handcrafted Guitars

By Diane Stevens


If you play a guitar you are able to purchase standard instruments from a high street store or a web based retailer and there are many models to choose from. Both electric and acoustic instruments are widely available in various styles and prices. If you want a unique instrument you will need to look for a company for custom handcrafted guitars and there are various options available to you.

A professional guitar builder will be able to offer a range of options when you are designing an instrument including the build materials and finished look. Left and right handed instruments can be made and your guitar can be engraved with one off designs. A large number of players who use an amplifier will want it to match their guitar and cabs can be manufactured in the same materials and color.

A lot of players will want a bespoke instrument and they will have one made to their own one off design. Acoustic guitars can be made using different woods and they can be made in various sizes to suit the individual player. Many parts of the instrument can be customized including the body, pick guard and the inlaid fret markers.

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 various ways to find a company that can make you a custom instrument and local music stores are a good place to begin. Fellow players may also be able to recommend a builder that they have used in the past. Some of the major manufacturers will take orders for custom guitars and it may be worth speaking to them to see if they can help you.

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.
