Listen first
We talk about your current instruments, your touch, your influences, and what you wish they did differently.
The custom build
Your guitar,
properly yours.
A considered, collaborative process that turns a sound in your head into something you can hold.
How it works
From conversation to collection day.
We keep the decisions visible and the language human. You never need to arrive with a spec sheet.
Draw the line
We translate the feeling into choices: scale, shape, woods, pickups, hardware, and the details that make it yours.
Make it sing
After careful bench time, we dial in the fretwork, setup, balance, and final voice before it leaves the workshop.
Material matters
Every choice has a job.
We work with woods that feel alive, hardware that stays reliable, and finishes that let the instrument age with grace. The best-looking part is always the one that improves the way it plays.
- VoiceWoods and pickups balanced for your attack, not a trend.

How long does a custom build take?
Most commissions take between six and nine months, depending on the brief and the current bench schedule. We share milestones along the way.
Can you start from an existing idea?
Absolutely. A sketch, a favourite neck, a sound in your head, or a guitar that almost works is more than enough to begin.
Do you ship across Australia?
Yes. Collection from the Melbourne workshop is welcome, and we arrange careful insured delivery anywhere in Australia.
