We are not trying to reinvent the guitar.  We build instruments that we like, with unique combinations of woods, finishes, electronics, and hardware, in hopes that you will like them, too.

We manufacture our own necks from a variety of different hardwoods, like birds-eye maple, roasted flamed maple, black walnut and sapeli mahogany (sapele), with fretboard wood such as rosewood, Caribbean rosewood (chechen), and pau ferro.

We scour the Internet for interesting or hard to find body woods and components.  We use high-quality name-brand electronics and hardware on every guitar, just as if we were building them for ourselves.

As my dad always said, “You never regret buying quality.”   

Of course, you could go source all these materials yourself and make your own, or you could pick up one of these cool, made in America instruments that we have already designed and curated.

We also do custom orders. If you would like to custom order a guitar to your specs, send us a message at the contact form and we will get back to you to discuss customizing your unique instrument.

Thanks for checking out Houston Guitars.
