Handcrafted Custom Guitars

Are you a serious guitarist who, like most musicians, isn't getting financially wealthy from your passion? You can envision a guitar that perfectly fits your style, sound, and body but you think you can't afford it. Well, perhaps you can!

Nailhaus Guitars start at $3,350 and I'll work with you to realize your vision. How can I do this? Like you, I value passion over profit. I've spent the last six years honing my lutherie skills with the goal of collaborating with musicians like you to create a guitar that will inspire your best music. The only thing I can think of that is more satisfying than building a beautiful guitar is handing that guitar to a musician who will cherish it.
