You Know You Want It

Custom built guitars to your specs using only the finest tone woods, necks and hardware. Specializing in the relicing and aging of guitars. All with thin lacquer finishes for more tone. We exclusively use Wudtone rub on finishes for custom builds. Beautiful and dimensional look.

Unlike most builders, I do not charge by the hour for Barcasters. The price is determined by your choice of parts and finish. This makes each guitar one-of-a-kind — no assembly line here! In addition to pricing for parts, a nominal and appropriate flat fee for labor is added. Each guitar takes approximately 10-14 months to complete. Unless specifically specified, all of our pickups are hand wound and wired exclusively for us by Tonemaster pickups. A true tone master at the winder gives you the sounds & tone you’ve been searching for.

I am a musician who loves performing, but another passion of mine is the process of building guitars. I am fortunate to have had success with The Barcasters. There’s nothing more gratifying than watching and listening to musicians play the instruments that you’ve custom designed, just how they like ‘em. See the image below.
