 Our designs are shaped and informed by a deep experience in guitar repair and restoration. We have the advantage of having worked on thousands of guitars and with thousands of players. We understand the aspects of the guitar that provide peak performance and longevity. We also understand the players expectations and needs and strive to fulfill them. Our mission, our goal, is to create the tools that inspire you to make music.

Every crafted guitar is made by manually using the sense of touch, not only to guide, but also as a wielded hand tool. If it’s not quite clear, we build handmade electric guitars right here in Des Moines, Iowa USA! We love guitars, we love music made with guitars, we love our guitars making music.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:

We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage products as accurately as possible in our listings.  Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so.  We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument.  Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing. 

We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear.  If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us at the Shop for a complete in-hand description and to answer any questions you may have.  Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
